We are a group of parents seeking to put to use our creative energies, our giving spirits, and our loving hearts. We are families who want to do more.

While our children play, we show them how to make their world a better place.

Hooray for New Day!!

This may be the most exciting PlayGroup yet! We are so excited to announce that one two of our own PlayGroup members are……..


Are you ready?……..


GOING TO CHINA!!!!!!


Did you just get excited shivers, too?


It’s true! Lydia’s mom Cathy and her older sister Sarah are going to work in the New Day Foster Home in China in June! Lydia is adopted from China and her family is very passionate about her home country; they have been sponsoring children in New Day since before Lydia came home! And for those of you that remember Operation Giggles (our PlayGroup from October), we also sponsored Christmas gifts for 2 little boys at New Day. We are so excited that Cathy and Sarah are getting the opportunity to go work with the fabulous people there.


Of course, we want to show our support and send these two PlayGroupers to China with more than they can carry! Our next PlayGroup will be a Chinese extravaganza! Below you will find details of when, where, and what is needed. I’m providing the whole list of suggested stuff - anything is welcome although we would like to focus on medical stuff and the needed crib sheets as the preschool stuff is being collected by Lydia’s school. But of course, there is no limit on that stuff - so go with your heart on what you would like to give.

When: Saturday, May 8th 10am-12pm
Where: Tabernacle Presbyterian Church, Waynesboro (behind Lowes)
Chinese snacks, Chinese crafts, Chinese music
