“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
Kindergarten Milestone // August 17th, 11am
Family Milestones mark key transitions in a child’s life, from birth to graduation. These moments give families a chance to pause, celebrate, and receive encouragement for walking in faith through each season. As your child enters kindergarten, you're stepping into a whole new season as a family. The Kindergarten Milestone is a chance to gather with other families at the same stage, reflect on this transition, and explore practical ways to begin forming simple, consistent rhythms of faith at home. We’d love to see you there!

August Update
An Note from Our Elementary Director
Hey, Calvary Kids families!
As summer break comes to a close, I hope you're able to look back and see the ways God provided your family with moments of rest, fun, and connection. A great way to kick off the new school year is to take a few minutes and pause as a family to pray, asking God for unity in your home, for strength in the new rhythms ahead, and for growth together in Christ. I am praying you feel equipped and encouraged as you step into this next season.
Psalm 133:1,3 reminds us:
“How good and pleasant it is when God’s people live together in peace! ... There the LORD gives His blessing. He gives life that never ends.”
We’ve got a few exciting things coming up! On August 24, we’ll have one service at 10am as we come together to reflect on the vision shared at Night of Vision and Prayer. It will be a time to celebrate God’s faithfulness, share updates, and look ahead to what’s next. Calvary Kids programs will be open during the service, and we’re inviting our middle and high school students to join us in the main gathering. After the service, stick around for a BBQ on the lawn. We’ve also got two special events coming up: a 3rd–5th Grade Pool Party (Aug. 7) and the Kindergarten Milestone (Aug. 13). For details and registration, see above.
We’re excited for all that this school year will bring and grateful to walk alongside your family in it.
Blessings,
Angela Perry
Elementary Director
