2012-2013 Theme


Greetings!


We are pleased to welcome you to South Hills MOPS!  This year, our theme is Plunge! Love as if your life depended on it. Taking the plunge in relationships means being authentic and going deeper.  In MOPS, relationships offer hope to moms, especially as they move below surface conversations and take risks to create authentic community.  Our topics this year will include growing mom friendships, growing a purposeful family, and personal growth and self-care.

The theme is based on this scripture:

Most of all, love each other as if your life depended on it. Love makes up for practically anything. Be quick to give a meal to the hungry, a bed to the homeless—cheerfully. Be generous with the different things God gave you, passing them around so all get in on it: if words, let it be God's words; if help, let it be God's hearty help. That way, God's bright presence will be evident in everything through Jesus, and he'll get all the credit as the One mighty in everything—encores to the end of time. Oh, yes!          1 Peter 4:8-11

Peter encourages us to take the plunge and love one another fearlessly without hesitation, even cheerfully. This is necessary with our husbands and children but also as we leave our comfort zone and make new friends!
We look forward to jumping in feet first with you and dive deeper to learn what is means to Love As If Your Life Depended On It!

In Him,
