The Easter Egg Hunt is this Friday at 10:00am. Because of the not-at-all-Spring-like weather, we are moving the hunt to the church. Sorry.
If you haven't already, please bring your egg-filling donations to Mirinda Chatfield before Friday - ten fillings for standard-sized Easter eggs per child that will be hunting.
In addition to the hunt, we will be decorating foam eggs and making Bunny Bag Baskets too. Treats will be provided, but feel free to bring something to share if you want.
Thanks and hope to see you all there!

UPDATE: This Friday
This Friday's playgroup is a little up in the air. Here's my thinking:
- If we get the snow (as predicted), we'll meet at 9:30am at Jacqie Lewis' home. Dress in snow stuff (snow pants, coats, gloves, hats, etc) and bring your sleds. They have a great hill for little ones, and it's been forever since the kids could do snowmen and such. We'll play til we all freeze. :-)
- If we don't get the snow in time or it's too cold, we'll still meet at Shanna Roper's home (as was originally scheduled) from 9:30-11:30. We'll play inside with their toys.
- If the roads are dangerous (who knows, right?), we'll have to cancel altogether. We'll see.
Anyway, make sure you check here before leaving for Playgroup Friday morning to hear whether we'll be meeting at the Lewis' or the Roper's or not at all. :-)

January Schedule
I am looking to create a list of people willing to host playgroup when it is located at the church. Here’s what I am proposing: One person will be designated as the leader of the month. That person will arrive at the church (on the Fridays it will be held there) a few minutes before 10am, unlock the main door, arrange the cultural hall or nursery for minimal disruption to Sunday activities, make sure everything looks the same when we’re done, and re-lock the door at departure. If you have been assigned a particular month, it will be your responsibility to find a replacement if you have a sick kid, an errand to run, a vacation, or something else.
With that being said, here’s our calendar for January:
January Playgroup Schedule
Playgroup’s designated leader this month is: Lindsey Williams
Friday, January 4th: Trains
Meet in the Church cultural hall at 10am. Bring a train toy to share! (I know the school-aged kids will still be on break, so if you have a different idea for today’s playgroup that would help you to entertain all your children, please let me know.)
Friday, January 11th: Preschool Splash at the RiverPlex (600 NE Water Street, Peoria)
Meet at 10:00 (ends at 11:30). $3 per child over two; adults free. Parents must accompany child(ren) in the water.
Friday, January 18th: Motor Mites at the Franciscan Rec Center (908 N. Sterling Ave, West Peoria)
Meet at 9:15 (ends at 11:15). $2 per child. Kids can play with scooters, balls, hula hoops, and tumbling equipment. (This is not directly on Sterling Ave. You can take University south and go right on Main Street, then right on Heading and a left on Sterling.)
Friday, January 25th: Emily Hardy’s Home (11232 N Jason Dr, Dunlap)
Meet at 10am to play.
