MOPS Testimonials

Here is what some moms had to say about their experience with Green Lake MOPS:

"I joined MOPS within weeks of moving to Seattle, and it was one of the best decisions I made! I didn't know anyone upon first moving here, but I quickly met a community of women who I loved getting to know. We enjoyed our Tuesday mornings at MOPS with prayer requests and listening to the speakers, but our table members also got together for playdates and became friends outside of MOPS, as well. MOPS truly helped me to feel at home in this new city."

"I moved to Seattle a few years ago with a new baby and not knowing a single person outside of family. It felt so isolating and scary at first. How do I make new friends, where do I take my baby to play, how am I going to get around this big city?! I knew of a few people back home who had done MOPS, so I looked into it and found the Bethany Green Lake MOPS. They looked like they were pretty active, so I took a leap and registered. At the first meeting, I instantly loved it! At my table, I was able to meet new friends, have play dates with their similarly aged children, and get useful parenting tips from other moms. It was amazing to see friendships formed and meet other ladies who cared about my family, prayed over us, and loved on us. I also learned useful tips from the speakers at MOPS and feel like I've been able to be more positive, knowledgeable parent and spouse. I'm really grateful for finding MOPS and these women."

"I joined MOPS with my toddler son as a casual way to get to know some other moms in the area, but it quickly became something we looked forward to every week. I found a community of women who have supported me through the lows of multiple miscarriages and the highs of a pregnancy and new baby. My son has made new friends in the kids program and comes home telling me stories from the Bible that he learned while he was there. MOPS is such a joy to my weekly routine and I highly recommend it to anyone looking to connect."

Speakers: Katie Gruver and Anne Granperson of Positive Parenting Seattle

Our second-to-last speakers of the season were Katie Gruver and Anne Granperson of Positive Parenting Seattle (website here).

One thing to remember from their talk were their three bullet points / suggestions for parenting preschoolers:

• Do vs Don't
• Limited Choices
• Special Time

Is that ringing any bells?! We hope that whether you completely agree with the parent philosophy or not, you were able to take something away from their talk.

(And remember that they offer classes and coaching! Go to their website for more info.)
