Meetings
MOMCO meets the 2nd and 4th Thursday of the month during the school year, from 9:15–11am at Harvest.
(We only meet once during each winter month; November – March). Each MOMCO meeting has a
small fee of $5.00; scholarships are available upon request.
We would love for you to join us!
What happens at a meeting?
A MOMCO meeting includes practical teaching through speakers, demonstrations, and videos. Our leaders have well-thought-out fun or funky crafts and service projects. Plus, there’s usually food … most of which you probably didn’t make! But more importantly, you’ll get to have honest conversations with other moms who understand the joys and frustrations of motherhood.
How are meetings planned?
Moms from the group volunteer to serve on the steering team. These women spend many hours planning enjoyable and beneficial meetings, and they are committed to making MOMCO mornings special. There are many opportunities available to become involved in the planning and organizing of MOMCO.
What do you offer my preschooler?
Children are cared for in a program called MOPPETS. Newborns to 24 months are in a nursery-like setting. Children ages 2-6 are involved in various activities including: music, crafts, stories and free play. The MOPPETS program is a preschool-style experience your kiddos will love! Although some moms prefer to keep their littlest ones with them, when you bring your children with you to the meeting, they will be assigned an age-appropriate classroom with our experienced and dedicated MOPPETS teachers. We have classrooms with fun and relevant Christ centered curriculum and crafts tailored for each age group.
Why does Harvest support MOMCO?
We know when churches reside in a community, profound things happen. Oftentimes, the people who need Jesus the most are uncomfortable walking through the doors of a church on a Sunday morning. MOMCO gives you a place to invite these women who will come to MOMCO because they want to be better moms. MOMCO is a missionary endeavor that partners with your church, through a group, to reach your community one mom at a time. – MOMCO international
