“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

February Update
A Note from the Elementary Director
Hey, Calvary Kids families!
“I give you a new command. Love one another. You must love one another, just as I have loved you.” John 13:34 NIrV
I read a quote recently that says, “For indeed a house is a little church.” This “little church” is where we build the foundation of teaching our children to “love one another, just as I have loved you.” Just like God loves us in every circumstance and equips us to love our children through their various phases, our home is where we guide our children in loving one another…siblings included.
This month we will be talking about how we can love like Jesus. I encourage you to engage in the conversation with your children.
Blessings,
Angela Perry
Elementary Director
