“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

Family Formation Sunday // September 20, 9am & 11am
We want to partner with you in having spiritual conversations with your kids and building rhythms of faith into everyday life. On this special Sunday, Calvary Kids will not meet in their usual rooms. Instead, families with kids 0–5th grade will worship together in the Chapel before heading to Parkside for a hands-on experience designed to help parents lead faith conversations at home. Through Bible teaching, age-appropriate activities, and opportunities to learn and practice together, parents and kids will discover simple ways to talk about faith that can continue beyond Sunday.

 

If an extra set of hands would help you feel more comfortable participating in Family Formation Sunday, we’d love to have a volunteer come alongside you and your family to support you as you lead your family through the experience. If this kind of support would be helpful for your family, please fill out the request below.

September Update

A Note from the Preschool Coordinator

Hey, Calvary Kids families!

God is with you wherever you go.” Joshua 1:9 NLT

Kids experience a lot of different places and situations throughout the week. A new classroom, a doctor’s appointment, or a first day somewhere new can bring worry or fear. This month, we’re helping kids learn the simple truth that God is with them wherever they go. They may not be able to see Him with their eyes, but they can know that He is near and hears them when they pray. It’s something we all need to be reminded of sometimes, and we can point our kids back to that truth when they need it most.

I’m looking forward to seeing the kids grow in confidence as they learn that God is always with them, no matter where their day takes them.

Blessings,
Amy Dresden
Preschool Coordinator

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.
