“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

March Update
A Note from the Preschool Coordinator
Hey, Calvary Kids families!
As we move through this season of Lent, we’ll be learning about the life that Jesus lived here on earth. His life was a powerful example of how to treat one another: how to be kind, loving, and sacrificial to everyone around us.
My hope is that kids will grow in their understanding of who Jesus is and His heart for people. We want these stories to spark meaningful conversations in your families and give your family simple ways to talk about Jesus together.
One way to continue this at home is to ask your child to share the story they learned about Jesus on Sunday morning. Talk about what it tells us about his love, then ask how they might show that same love to a friend or family member.
As we walk toward Easter, I’m praying that this season would shape all of us—kids and adults alike—to look a little more like Jesus in the way we love and serve others.
Grateful to partner with you,
Amy Dresden
Preschool Coordinator
What We’re Learning this Month in Calvary Kids
Preschool-Kindergarten //
Key Question: Who is amazing?
Bottom Line: Jesus is amazing.
Memory Verse: “We have seen amazing things today!” Luke 5:26 (NLT)
Elementary //
Theme: Upside Down—treat others the way Jesus treats you
Memory Verse: : Don’t do anything only to get ahead. Don’t do it because you are proud. Instead, be humble. Value others more than yourselves. Philippians 2:3 (NIrV)
Calvary Kids Stamp Card //
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 a prize from our prize box!
