“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

Preschool Family Gathering // May 31st, 9-11am
You’re invited to a family gathering at Houge Park for those with young kids (infant-5 years old). We’ll have snacks and a chance to connect with other families in the same season of life. If you have any questions, please contact adresden@calvarylg.com.

Promotion Sunday // June 8th
Promotion Sunday will be held on June 8th. This means if your child is in Kindergarten - 12th grade, your child will be considered to be in the grade they will be entering in Fall 2025. As such, they will be invited to participate in the activities attributed to those grades. This has special significance if your child is in Kindergarten, 5th grade, and 8th grade as they will be moving locations:

  • Kindergarteners are invited upstairs to The Zone (1st-5th Grade Room)

  • 5th Graders are invited to the MSM (Middle School Ministries) Room

  • 8th Graders are invited to the HSM (High School Ministries) Room

June Update

An Note from Our Elementary Director

Hey, Calvary Kids families!

For many parents, the last month of the school year can be summed up in one word: chaos. The calendar is packed with school activities, parties, parades, graduations, and never-ending to-do lists. If you’re like me, it can feel like you’re army crawling your way to the finish line that is the last day of school.

My prayer for you is that as summer break approaches, you would find moments of true rest, even in the midst of the busyness. Hebrews 4:1 says:

“God’s promise of enjoying His rest still stands. So be careful that none of you fails to receive it.” 

I encourage you to take a moment to breathe and receive the promise of God’s rest in this season. It might just be exactly what you need.  

Blessings,
Angela Perry
Elementary Director
