“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

January Update

An Note from Our Elementary Director

Happy New Year, Calvary Kids families!

January often feels like a time to recover from the hustle and bustle of the holiday season, settle back into routines, and make changes we hope will improve our lives. But it can also leave us feeling exhausted, overstimulated, and like we're falling short. Instead of striving to overhaul every area of life to feel more organized, healthier, or "put together," I want to encourage you to embrace the fresh start of a new year as an opportunity to lean into the Lord. Seek His guidance for your year, your family, and whatever else He places on your heart.

I love how Proverbs 3:5-6 is phrased in the New King James Version:

“Trust in the LORD with all your heart, and lean not on your own understanding; in all your ways acknowledge Him, and He shall direct your paths.”

We’re here to support you and your kids however we can and look forward to walking alongside you this year.

Blessings,
Angela Perry
Elementary Director

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 up to two prizes from our prize box!
