Lets meet at Fairland Sports Complex Playground, the playground is located behind the sports and aquatic center. Don't forget to pack a picnic lunch.
Rainy Day Option - Fairland Sports Complex Open Gym at 11:30am. The cost is $5 per child that is walking. Adults do not have to pay.
You are welcome to still pack a lunch but most will not be staying for lunch because open gym doesn't let out until 12:30pm and the kids usually need to get home for a nap!

Precious Baby Update

Wednesday, October 21, 2009 1:36 PM, EDT
She just rolled by and is on her new bed! Eyes wide open and scanning around!
She is out! Surgeon is excited about her perfomance. We'll see how her heart does over the next few days. These will be critical as the next few days will shape her life for years to come.
Praise God for bringing our girl through this trial, praise God for his work through the surgeons and their team. Praise God for seeing this mighty work to completion. Praise God for the veritable army of believers that has been amassed to intercede for my daughter.
Pray for her continued surgery recovery. Pray that the progress seen by the surgeon will continue to compound to the point that she will be able to live a normal life. Pray that God's plan for this precious baby does not need to include a transplant in the future.

MOPS Moms and Other Friends,
Just wanted to everyone know that Vernea grandchild's surgery has been moved UP to this morning at 6am. This is not due to a worsening of any condition or anything like that, but just because an OR slot opened up Please be in prayer for this precious baby (6 weeks old), the doctors and nurses, Jason and Jana (the parents) and the grandparents who have been at the babys side tirelessly throughout the last two weeks that they have been in the hospital.
If you would like to keep up with updates about the baby, please e-mail us at mops@firstbaptistlaurel.org and we will send you more information.
Blessings to you all!
"Now to Him who is able to do immeasurably more than all we ask or imagine, according to his power that is at work within us, 21to him be glory in the church and in Christ Jesus throughout all generations, for ever and ever! Amen. -- Ephesians 3:20-21
