Fredericksburg MOPs (Mothers of Preschoolers) and MOMS Next is a diverse group women from around the Fredericksburg area. Our meetings are a combination of food, fellowship, group discussion, creative activities, service projects and occasional speakers on topics such as child development, finance or relationships.

Our Theme for 2018 (From MOPs.Org)
This year, we will tend the FIRE in our hearts.
We will stop inhaling the fumes of our mistakes that tell us we are not enough, Instead, we will choose to tend our God-given fire.
We will love our children with an all-consuming love and use our words to warm the world. We will hold the torch up high and shed light on what matters most.
When our homes feel cold, we’ll light a fire. When a friend has lost her spark, we’ll fan her flame. When the world seems dark, we will be an ember of hope.
LIVE EXPECTANTLY - We will be women who whose passion and patience inspire the people we love the most.
SURRENDER DARINGLY- Let go of unhelpful expectations and the need to control.
BREATHE FREELY- Let yourself be loved.
SOME WOMEN FEAR THE FIRE,
OTHERS TEND THEIR GOD-GIVEN FIRE
AND USE IT TO LIGHT UP THEIR HEARTS AND THE WORLD.
