“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

Upcoming Events

House of Hope Food Drive //

House of Hope is more than a food pantry. It is a ministry of Calvary that offers food, friendship, prayer, and encouragement to those facing difficult seasons. Summer is a critical time for House of Hope as donations tend to slow down. Calvary Church is working together to help restock our shelves with non-perishable food items to sustain our community until the holiday season.

For Calvary Kids families, this can be a wonderful opportunity to help your children practice the generosity of Jesus in a tangible way. You can use the list below on your next shopping trip and invite your kids to help choose items for House of Hope. As you work together, you can talk about how small acts of kindness can reflect the love of Jesus and make a difference in someone's life.

 

Kindergarten Milestone // August 16, 11am
Family Milestones mark key transitions in a child’s life, from birth to graduation. These moments give families a chance to pause, celebrate, and receive encouragement for walking in faith through each season. As your child enters kindergarten, you're stepping into a whole new season as a family. The Kindergarten Milestone is a chance to gather with other families at the same stage, reflect on this transition, and explore practical ways to begin forming simple, consistent rhythms of faith at home. Please register below.

August Update

A Note from the Elementary Director

Hey, Calvary Kids families!

"How You made me is amazing and wonderful. I praise You for that. What You have done is wonderful. I know that very well." —Psalm 139:14

This month, we'll explore the incredible truth that each one of us is God's masterpiece, created in His image. In Calvary Kids, we'll discover that God made each of us with purpose, that He can use every part of our lives, and that every person has immeasurable value because we reflect our Creator.

As we learn more about who God created us to be, we'll also discover how He invites us to use the unique gifts and abilities He's given us to help grow His kingdom. We all have a part to play, and God delights in using each of us for His purposes.

I'm praying for you as you speak God's truth into your kids' lives this month and encourage them to see themselves the way God sees them.

Blessings,
Angela Perry
Elementary Director
