MOPS & MOMSnext

Welcome Learn More Schedule Cost & Budgeting
Welcome

We are on a mission to celebrate motherhood.

We build circles of women who love each other like family, because raising humans is beautiful and hard, and having each other to lean on is life-giving. That’s why we connect moms all over the Sacramento area to a community of women who meet together to laugh, cry and embrace the journey of being a mom.

This is motherhood, and together we can change the world in all the best ways.  We are connected to the MOPS International organization.

What is MOPS & MOMSnext?

MOPS is open to ANY mother of children, birth through kindergarten.

  • When you're wading though diapers and sleepless nights
  • When all of your kid's needs are on you
  • When you're isolated and in need of community and support

MOMSnext is open to ANY mother of school-aged children (1st-12th grade)

  • When we’re past the diaper years and sleeping through the night…
  • When we’re meeting more emotional needs than physical ones…
  • When our kids are transitioning from dependence to independence

Both stages meet together in one mixed group.

 

Who can be in MOPS & MOMSnext?

Moms - if you are pregnant or have kids birth through school-aged MOPS & MOMSnext is for you. Stepmom, adoptive mom, birth mom, foster mom, working mom, stay at home mom - all types of moms are welcome!

 

What is this year's theme?

 

Have you ever gotten to the end of a week, month or year and thought, “How did I get here? Where has the time gone?” It happens in our parenting, friendships, marriage and work- we get caught up in the urgent demands of the day-to-day, and then years go by, and we realize we haven’t been making the small choices that will get us where we actually wanted to be. So this is the year to make some moves.

Say “Yes.”

It’s amazing how one little word can change your life. But too often, our ‘yeses’ are reserved for default decisions we aren’t even intentionally making or the stuff we feel obligated to do. What if we started saying ‘yes’ to the important things? Yes, to parenting on purpose. Yes, to significant challenges and out-of-your-comfort-zone opportunities. Yes, to your marriage. Invitations to connect with others? Yes, please. Saying yes opens us up to new ways of thinking and helps cultivate a growth mindset.

To clarify, we’re not talking about people-pleasing or over-extending yourself. In fact, it’s the opposite. Developing a ‘yes’ mindset is living intentionally, focused on your goals for yourself and your family. It’s about listening to God’s still, small voice and doing the brave things rather than the easy things.

This is the year of yes! Yes, to God. Yes, to the thing that gives you butterflies. Yes, to this moment, these people, this life. Get ready to SAY YES.

What does a MOPS & MOMSnext gathering look like?

We meet on Thursday mornings, usually twice per month. There are about 60 women in our group. Every mom has a table of about 8 women that they sit with each week so you have the chance to build great friendships. These tables all have a Mentor Mom - a mom with grown kids, who is there to be a listening ear and support to you in this amazing season of life. Each table also has a Table Host.  This is a volunteer mom who serves in an administrative capacity for the moms at an assigned table.  She serves as a point person between the Steering Team and other moms within the group.

Each table of women takes turns bringing brunch to share with the other tables. Your table will bring brunch only once or twice a semester. All the other weeks you get a fabulous brunch that you didn't have to cook or clean up after! After brunch we have time either having an activity and craft, or hearing from a guest speaker or watch a MOPS International speaker video. Some of the topics that our guest speakers cover range from parenting and marriage, finances and health, self-care, friendship and many other topics relevant to your mom life.

Our main goal in our weekly gathering is for you to find support, encouragement and friendship with other moms as you face the challenges and joys of motherhood together - you don't have to do this alone.
