NURSERY SCHOOL

ICE CREAM SOCIAL IN HONOR OF OUR BELOVED MR. TERRY ON THURSDAY, JUNE 28, 3:30 pm
Our beloved Mr. Terry will be leaving us at the end of June. We are so sad to see him leave and would like to send him off with an ice cream social in his honor. We are hoping that many of you (with your children) will be able to come. The Parent Association, in conjunction with the Nursery School, will be collecting cash donations for a gift for Mr. Terry. Please bring your donations to the Nursery School office. Also, we would like to make a picture collage for Mr. Terry of children who have been in the school, so please bring in pictures, as well. The deadline for donations and pictures is Tuesday, June 26. Please spread the word, so that we can have a great turn out, and call Pam or Trudy if you have any questions at 301-570-0699.

BE A MINYANAIRE!

Sign up online to commit to a daily minyan.

Summertime and the livin’ is easy… But the minyans are harder. The challenge of having a daily minyan is more difficult during the summer months. We are looking for people who will commit to regularly attending a minyan service at least once a week so that those saying Kaddish can do so. Please pick any of the daily minyans offered (Monday –Thursday 7:30 PM, Friday morning 6:45 AM, Sunday morning 9 A.M) and email larryfishbein@comcast.net with your choice. Please make this commitment to help those in our congregation as they remember and hi!
