My wife is a genious... shhhhh! It'll be our secret.
One group of people that mine and Jessica's heart goes out to is parents of young children. According to the demographics of Brownwood, TX, approximately 30% of households have a child less than one year of age.
In an effort to minister to this demo (parents of young children), Jessica came up with the idea to launch a "Parents of Purpose" group... aka POPs. POPs is similar to MOPS, but it meets at night (to accomodate parents who work) and it includes fathers, mothers and blended families.
It works like this. The parents bring their children to the house, church building, or meeting facility. Someone stays behind to care for the children, show them a film and teach them a Bible lesson while the parents go out to dinner and a devotional program. Mom and dad get out, network with other parents, and get discipled and encouraged in the process.
POPs is one Mission: Brownwood ministry to which I am looking forward.
