This hour gives a unique opportunity to build a special relationship between both the child and mentor creating immense enjoyment and satisfaction. The whole program is surrounded by prayers from their individual prayer partners and the church, so God is there working within Kids Hope the whole time Kids Hope is up and running from Monday 1

st February 2016, students came

back to the Ballarat Specialist School last Thursday 28th January. We are giving

the students and teachers a few days to settle back into a routine then I am sure they are eager to see their mentors this week.

ALL mothers of children aged 0-6 are invited to come along to the one2one MOPS group. Mums can enjoy some relaxing child-free time with other mums as they listen to guest speakers, chat, make something creative and enjoy morning tea together. Children have lots of fun participating in age-appropriate activities as part of the MOPPETS program. We meet every Tuesday fortnight from 9.15-11.45am during school terms here at the church. $5 per mum, first visit is free. Our first MOPS for 2016 will commence on Tuesday 9 February 9.15-11.45am.

Do you like working with young children? If you have some time available every second Tuesday morning (9.15-11.45am) and enjoy working with young children we would love you to be part of the one2one MOPPETS carers team. The MOPPETS program provides care and activities for children (0-6yrs) during the MOPS meetings. MOPS (Mothers of Preschoolers) provides time out, encouragement and support to mums and their families.

MOPS would not happen without the support of the MOPPETS carers. For MOPPETS to run smoothly in 2016 we need some new carers and we would love you to consider helping! Even if you are only available to help out at certain times of the year or month you could be a really valuable helper in our program. Volunteers will require a Working with Children Check or be willing to obtain one. To express your interest, please contact Church Office 5334 1882

MOPS Fundraiser – Term 1 MOPS one2one are fundraising during Term 1 with Sticker Fun & Bulbs Direct. Catalogues will be available at the first MOPS meeting or you can take a look at one of the catalogues in the front office. Orders and payments can be made to Kylie Gellert, Elizabeth Schefferle or Janice Thomas from Feb 9 through until March 22. These products make great gift ideas for birthdays, thank you’s and are fun to do at home with your child or grandchild. Money raised will be supporting the MOPS ministry in the outreach to mothers with young children in our church and wider community. Many thanks for your support.

Please pray for our MOPS Group, this is a vital ministry for our church and community

mums, they need our prayer/practical support.
