Lets meet at Fairland Sports Complex in Laurel for Open Gym. The cost is $5 per child that is walking. Adults do not have to pay. We will meet at the sports complex. We won't be staying for lunch as most people will be in a hurry to get home so their kids can get down for naps!
Also they do not have any place to sit and eat.

Operation Christmas Child Comes Full Circle

Watch the story of Oksana Nelson - a former orphan from Russia who was given an Operation Christmas Child shoebox before she was adopted. Hear how the shoebox changed her life and how she's now helping other children through Operation Christmas Child!

MOPS & Pops Night Out

Ladies,
Regrettably we have to cancel MOPS and Pops Night that was scheduled for Saturday night. The weather has been so overwhelming this past week and we don't want to put anyone's safety at risk on the roads or walkways close to the church.
The Steering Team will do our best to reschedule for a date in the Spring (maybe we can avoid snow in April?)! We'll let you know as soon we can!
Thanks!
Amy P.

RESCHEDULED MOPS MEETING

Ladies,
I pray that you are all safe and without too much back pain from all the shoveling! Since Prince George's county schools are closed for the rest if this week we will not have our MOPS meeting. However, thanks to the hard work of Cathy and her helpers we have secured 9 out of the 12 MOPPETS workers we need to have the meeting on Feb 18! So we will see you on February 18th at 9:30am, weather permitting ;o)Stay safe and warm!

There will be no scheduled playgroup this week due to the weather. Please be safe and have fun in the snow!

Are Schools Open? Check Online!

When schools close, be the first to know!
School's Out provides school districts, colleges and private schools with an emergency communications infrastructure.
In the case of emergencies, delays, schedule changes or cancellations, School's Out can send you an email or cell phone text message alert.
School's Out was created in 1996 when a group of concerned parents in Frederick, Maryland were unable to find out information regarding early dismissals during Hurricane Fran. Completely out-of-pocket, this group of parents developed School's Out to help inform parents, students and faculty of any early closings, delays and cancellations in their particular Maryland K-12 school districts.
