MOPS

One of the Mission Fields I've been thinking about for COTM is parents with young children. To this end, a priest at a local church told me to take a look at the Mothers of Preschoolers (MOPS) program. Basically, local churches sponsor groups of mothers with preschool aged children to gather and share fellowship, mentoring, and peer-support. Something like that could work very well in our community, as I think there is a huge need for relationship among mothers in this demographic.

Interestingly, I've been told that COTM used to have a program like this for many years--I wonder what happened to it. Perhaps it's time to revive the tradition.

I know that Little Trinity has a MOPS group that meets every week. I'm not aware of any others in the GTA, but it seems likely a fairly straightforward relational evangelism opportunity.
