“Love the Lord your God with all your heart and with all your soul and with all your strength. These commandments that I give you today are to be on your hearts. Impress them on your children. Talk about them when you sit at home and when you walk along the road, when you lie down and when you get up.” Deuteronomy 6:5-7

January Update

A Note from the Preschool Coordinator

Hey, Calvary Kids families!

I hope you had a wonderful holiday! One of the best gifts we can give kids is helping them learn where truth comes from: God’s word! Jesus reminds us of this in John 17:17 when He says, “Your word is truth.”

This month in preschool, we’re learning that the Bible teaches us the best things. My prayer is
that kids don’t just hear Bible stories, but that they begin to fall in love with the Bible and see it
as something they can trust.

You can help bring this learning to life at home by creating simple moments to read the Bible together. A great place to start is revisiting the Bible story they learned on Sunday morning and asking questions like, “What did you like about this story?” or “What does this tell us about God?” Reading the Bible as a family helps kids see that God’s Word is always true and something we can turn to every day—not just on Sundays.

I’m thankful to begin this new year alongside you as we point kids toward a love for God’s
Word.

Blessings,
Amy Dresden
Preschool Coordinator

To encourage Calvary Kids to embody the core values of “Respect God, Respect Others, Respect Yourself,” we are excited to introduce the Calvary Kids Stamp Card! When a leader observes your child demonstrating respectful behavior towards God, others, or themselves, or when they actively participate, they will receive a stamp on their card. At pick-up, students can turn in their card to earn up to two prizes from our prize box!
