“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
An Note from Our Preschool Director
Hey, Calvary Kids families!
One common phrase we hear kids say is, “Watch this!” They want us to watch their spins, cartwheels, dance routines, and the cool things that their toys can do. It’s always fun to be amazed and say, “Wow,” no matter what it is. Their excitement is contagious, and it’s a reminder of how much joy they find in the little things.
This month, we are teaching our preschoolers to watch the One who can do anything—Jesus! As we explore His miracles and learn about His power, we are helping them understand that Jesus is the One who calms storms, heals the sick, and brings peace to every situation. This can be a great opportunity to point out ways Jesus’ power is at work in their world. If they feel scared at night, you might remind them that Jesus is always with them. When they aren’t feeling well, praying together can show them that Jesus cares for them. Even noticing things in nature—like pouring rain, bright stars, or a strong wind—can be a simple way to talk about His power. These little moments can help build their understanding that Jesus isn’t just powerful in Bible stories—He is powerful in their lives too!
Blessings,
Amy Dresden
