Ernie Miller Nature Hike

Despite the chilly air and rain the MOPPETS and moms enjoyed a nature hike with former MOPS mom and biologist Lani W. in September.

The kids got to release a frog to a new home.

Luckily, no one fell in the water

Squirmy kiddos!

Service Opportunity

Teen MOPS of Olathe Christian is looking for families to sponsor them for Christmas.

This would mean brightening a teen mom's holiday with a few gifts.  There are 10 moms who need to be sponsored.  This is a great way to serve with your kids.
