This year in MOPS we will be studying the Art and Science of mothering. Just as we study, experiment, and test our theories about parenting, we must also finesse each hypothesis to reflect the personalities and talents of each parent and child. This year's theme verse reminds us that as we explore we can be confident that an all-knowing, all-powerful, ever-present God will guide us.
Even there your hand will guide me, your right hand will hold me fast. (Psalm 139:10)
