“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

June Update

A Note from the Elementary Director

Hey, Calvary Kids families!

May Your kingdom come. May what You want to happen be done on earth as it is done in heaven.” Matthew 6:10

This verse is such a beautiful picture of surrender. Jesus invites us to desire what He desires, to set aside our own plans and seek His kingdom first, trusting that His ways are better than our own.

As parents, that can feel both encouraging and challenging. We carry hopes and expectations for our children (and ourselves), but Matthew 6:10 reminds us that God’s plans are so much better than anything we could create on our own. When we model surrender—bringing our fears, desires, and plans before the Lord—we show our children what it looks like to trust Him and make room for His peace and guidance in our homes and lives.

My encouragement to you this month is to continue faithfully planting seeds in your children’s lives. Even when it feels like they aren’t listening, God is working through your consistency, prayers, and presence. Your faithfulness matters more than you know.

I’m praying for you as you shepherd your children.

Blessings,
Angela Perry
Elementary Director
