“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

April Update
An Note from Our Elementary Director
Hey, Calvary Kids families!
As we approach Easter, we’re reminded that Jesus set the ultimate example of faith in the face of difficulty. Even in the darkest moments, we have hope that He is making all things right. Through the darkest day in history, we were given the greatest hope imaginable—eternal life and reconciliation with God. No matter what struggles we face, we can trust that Jesus, who overcame sin and death, is working all things for good and will one day restore and make all things new.
We’re praying for our Calvary Kids families, that this Easter fills your hearts with renewed hope.
Blessings,
Angela Perry
Elementary Director
