This weekend in Waldorf, MD

Arise Behavioral Health is coordinating a community-wide effort to collect new school supplies for children, adolescents, and families who receive behavioral health services. The initiative aims to ease barriers, strengthen family support, and help young people thrive in school and in life. It concludes with a Community School Readiness Event where families can pick up supplies and connect with educational, behavioral health, and community resources that foster long-term success. Opportunities to participate include donating new school supplies, partnering as a collection site, registering as a community resource vendor, arranging pickup for larger collections, and helping spread the word. Arise Behavioral Health notes that it is not a nonprofit and this is not a fundraising campaign, but rather a coordinated drive to gather supplies and bring together organizations dedicated to supporting local youth and families.

A faith-based healing workshop for women focused on reclaiming self-worth through prayer, reflection, and creative painting. This intimate Praise & Paint experience is inspired by “Love Deprived,” exploring emotional scarcity, unmet needs, overgiving, and the patterns that show up when love feels inconsistent. You’ll take part in guided reflection and conversation, receive affirmations and prayer, and paint as a way to release old validation-chasing and step into wholeness. Light refreshments will be served.

Settle in under the evening sky for a family-friendly outdoor screening of The Mario Galaxy Movie. The film is planned to begin at dusk, and gates open about an hour beforehand so there is time to get situated. Bring blankets and chairs for seating, and please note that alcohol is not permitted.

Enjoy unlimited Sunday brunch for $12. Taking place on the second Sunday of each month, this event welcomes the public.

Join a hands-on handgun cleaning workshop focused on routine maintenance to help improve reliability and extend the lifespan of your firearm. You’ll practice using an unloaded handgun to understand how to properly disassemble and reassemble it for cleaning, learn how proper care helps prevent mistakes, and get tips on spotting signs of damage or excessive wear. No live ammunition is permitted in the classroom. It’s recommended you bring your unloaded handgun, your owner’s manual, and a cleaning kit made for your handgun’s caliber (the instructor can provide items if you don’t have them yet).
