2010 - 2011 Waiting List
Read more...

Registration for the 2010 - 2011 school year has now closed.  All classes are full, and our waiting lists for all Infant/Toddlers, two-year olds, and three-year olds have been closed.  We can still add children to our waiting list for four-year olds (children who will be four but not five years old as of September 30, 2010).

If you registered during Priority Registration, you will soon receive a letter regarding your child’s placement.  For families who registered during Open Registration, waiting list positions for 2010 - 2011 are listed here by your family ID number.   If you registered more than one child, your family ID number will list multiple waiting list positions, one for each of your children.  Note that we keep waiting lists by age groups, so there will be, for example, several #1 waiting list positions appearing below.

Our waiting lists will remain in effect throughout the 2010 - 2011 school year; they do not carry over from year to year.  If an opening occurs for your child, we will notify you by phone and/or email.  You are welcome to check back with us at any time to see if your child’s position on our waiting lists has changed. (We will not be updating waiting list positions on the website.)

If you accept placement at another school, or if for some other reason you are no longer interested in placement at Mount Olivet Preschool, please let us know so that we can adjust our waiting lists accordingly. 

If you have any questions, please call the preschool office at (703) 527-5508.

Thank you for your interest in Mount Olivet Preschool.

Lent 2010 Special Offering
 
The past 12-18 months have been difficult for everyone in Northern Virginia, and especially difficult for those who may be unemployed, underemployed, or homeless.  We can ask ourselves the questions:  Do I have shelter to protect myself, food to keep me nourished, and clothing to keep me warm?  Most of us have these basic necessities, but as the recession continues, the number of people in Northern Virginia who do not have these necessities is increasing rapidly.   As we enter the season of Lent and prepare for the death and resurrection of Jesus, it is important to help those who are in need.  To honor that commitment, we have selected the Arlington Food Assistance Center (AFAC) and the Arlington Street People’s Assistance Network (ASPAN) as two of our Lenten recipients.
 
Mount Olivet also serves the Lord by helping others more directly through our many mission efforts.  We are blessed with an active mission program that allows children and adults to reach out to our local, regional and international community and actively be the hands and feet of Christ.  To honor this commitment, our third Lenten recipient is a fund to help provide scholarships to youth and young adults who might not otherwise be able to participate in upcoming international mission trips.
 
AFAC
AFAC is an incorporated 501c(3) non-profit organization dedicated to providing supplemental groceries to Arlington residents who cannot afford to purchase sufficient food to meet their basic needs.  While its only mission is to feed the hungry, by relieving the food budget of its clients, AFAC helps prevent homelessness and allows its clients to make other necessary purchases without sacrificing their health, housing and nutritional needs. AFAC is run entirely by a volunteer Board of Directors, a staff of ten employees, and more than 400 volunteers from families, businesses and religious organizations. AFAC fits neatly into the comprehensive system of service delivery that characterizes the work done by the agencies and churches in Arlington. It provides groceries to over 1200 families each week referred to it by the Arlington County Department of Human Services, other social service agencies, and the churches of Arlington.  More than half of the people served by AFAC are children.  AFAC obtains surplus food at a minimal cost from the Capital Area Food Bank and at no cost from private donors, local bakeries, supermarkets, farmers' markets and food drives.  Mount Olivet has regularly held food drives for AFAC providing many boxes of food.  With our Lenten offerings, we can do even more to help see that our neighbors in Arlington don’t go hungry.
 
ASPAN
Arlington Street People's Assistance Network is an organization that provides service to assist people with their basic needs. Their four major programs are Homeless Bagged Meals, Opportunity Place, Transitional Employment and Life Skills Training, and Permanent Supportive Housing. Through these programs Arlington residents are provided with counseling, clothing, food, help with employment searches, shelter, assistance obtaining personal identification, and other services. 
 
Mount Olivet has been in ministry with ASPAN for many years. You may remember a time when you made soup and/or sandwiches or a time where you walked in a Help-the-Homeless Walkathon. These are among the ways we supported ASPAN in the past. We continue our ministry by supporting ASPAN during Lent this year.
 
Scholarships for International Youth and Young Adult Mission
Mount Olivet has worked to provide regular opportunities for high school youth and young adults to participate in international mission trips.  These mission trips provide unique opportunities to serve Christ.  Working with our neighbors in other countries, each with its own unique culture and language, while building relationships, is transformative.  Of course, these trips generally are more expensive that the mission trips that Mount Olivet takes in the United States.  Sometimes, that extra cost is an obstacle to some of our younger members being able to participate.  The Outreach Team is establishing a scholarship fund for our international mission trips.  We have designated the fund as one of our Lenten recipients so that we may assist worthy candidates who might otherwise not be able to go on an international mission trip.
 
This year, there will be an international Youth Habitat Trip to El Salvador, involving 10 Mount Olivet youth and 4 adults.  They will work with a poor family in a village of El Salvador to build a house in a week!  While in El Salvador, the team will also meet with one of the 14 churches of the fledging Evangelical Methodist Church of El Salvador, the partner church of the United Methodist Church.  Past  trips have transformed the lives of the youth who went on the trip, strengthened their faith, and gave them a chance to work side by side with the poor in a neighboring country. The cost for the trip includes airfare for the youth, their housing, food and transportation in El Salvador, and the materials needed to build a house. 
 
This year about 10 Mount Olivet adults and youth also will embark on our first mission trip to Mikulov, Czech Republic to work with our new partner church. Working with the local pastor, we will run an English camp for 40-50 people from the community.  The camp will involve lessons, songs, and games, including using Bible stories to help teach English.  In addition, in the mornings, some of the team will have the chance to work with the pastor’s wife with her group of mothers and young children to help teach them some English.  We also will have the chance to build our new partnership with the congregation, do daily devotions with them and worship on a Sunday in the newly refurbished church in Mikulov.  The cost for the trip includes airfare, housing, food, transportation, and some materials.  Your donation will allow youth and young adults who could otherwise not go on these trips to join the team.
 
Consider the Scripture when deciding on your Lenten offering:
“For I was hungry and you gave me something to eat, I was thirsty and you gave me something to drink, I was a stranger and you invited me in, I needed clothes and you clothed me, I was sick and you looked after me, I was in prison and you came to visit me.' "The King will reply, 'I tell you the truth, whatever you did for one of the least of these brothers of mine, you did for me.”                              
-Matthew 25:35-36 & 40

Stephen Ministry

 
What is Stephen Ministry?   Stephen Ministry is our congregation’s one-on-one, Christ-centered, care giving ministry.  Stephen Ministers are caring Christian friends who walk with a person (a care receiver) during times when life is out of balance.  Stephen ministers actively listen, are non-judgmental, pray, explore feelings, let God provide the healing, and above all - always maintain confidentiality.
 
Stephen Minsters care for people who are grieving, in crisis, in transition, dying, giving birth, hospitalized, experiencing all types of loss, and those who are supporting persons who are in any of these situations.
 
Stephen Minister training is 50 hours over about 4 months, culminating in a formal commissioning ceremony.  Once commissioned, the Stephen Minister serves for a period of at least two years.  The joy and fulfillment of being a Stephen Minister, and the opportunity to grow in faith and in interpersonal communication skills, make this a truly unique ministry.
 
For more information, call the church office or contact Dan Albrant or Helen King.
