SUNDAY SCHOOL: 9:30-10:30 Pre-K through 6th grade 

***Children are encouraged to bring in their water bottles and Bibles*** 

*PreK -Kindergarten: (Meets upstairs in PreK Classroom)  

*Parents, please see the” Take Home Sheet” your children bring home after class.  These papers will show you what they have learned in Sunday School. You can help them throughout the week reinforce what they have learned about God’s Word and who He is and how much we are loved by Our Heavenly Father.  

The children will finish their last lesson in the teaching series,” Finger Painting with God”, and start a new series, “Building Blocks”.  

New Memory Verse: “Every house is built by someone. But God is the builder of everything” Hebrews 3:4 

• Rest-God made a special day for me to rest and remember all He has done. We can remember that God made my family. God made my friends. God made me! The Seventh Day, Genesis 2:1-3 
• There is No One Like God-Little Ones will learn that no matter how we may try, no one is as BIG and as GREAT as God! Tower of Babel, Genesis 11:1-9 
• God Can Do Anything-The children will learn that there is nothing that God cannot do. The Walls of Jericho, Joshua 6:12-16 and 6:20 
• God Watches Over Me- Little Ones will learn that God watches over everything that He has made. Noah’s Ark, Genesis 7:1-12 

*1st-4th Grades (Downstairs Classrooms) 

***PLEASE HAVE THE CHILDREN BRING THEIR OWN WATER BOTTLES AND BIBLES*** 

*Parents, please look at the “Make it Stick” or” Take Home Papers” we send home with the children. It gives a better description of what was taught and how to reinforce what they have learned throughout the week, as a family.  We also send home a memory verse for them to learn.  We give them an incentive to remember scripture. 

The kids will continue in their study of the Parables, in the series,” Code Breakers, Cracking the Kingdom Code”. Jesus spoke about The Kingdom of God, or the Kingdom of Heaven. These stories, called parables, remain a mystery for those who do not have “eyes to see and ears to hear”. The kids will examine the clues, break the code, and gain understanding of their role in the Kingdom of God. 

Memory Verse: “God you are my God. I seek you with all my heart”. Psalm 63:1a  

• The Search Is On: Matthew 13:44-46, The Parable of the Hidden Treasure and the Pearls. In these parables, Jesus shows us that God and His Kingdom are so precious, we should be willing to give up everything for them. Puzzle #4 Kids will hunt for their own buried treasure, and uncover the letters MPWFHPE 
• Focused and Ready: Matthew 25:1-13, The Parable of the Ten Bridesmaids. Jesus shows us that we need to serve God and stay focused on Him no matter what happens. Puzzle # 5 By shifting the letters from last week, MPWFHPE becomes LOVE GOD.  
• Seeing the Patterns: Matthew 18:23-25, The Parable of the Unforgiving Servant. Jesus shows us that not only do we have a loving and forgiving God, but we should extend that same kind of forgiveness to others. Puzzle #6 Kids must assemble random strips of paper with writing on them like a jigsaw puzzle. They will just be random lists of letters. 
• Eyes on the Prize: Matthew 7:1-5, The Parable of The Speck and the Log. Jesus teaches us how important it is not to judge other people. None of us is perfect, except Jesus. Puzzle #7 Using the random letters from last week, the kids will cross off certain letters to end up with EEHLOORSTV. 

*5-6th Grades (Downstairs Classroom) 

The children in 5th and 6th grades are continuing to study,” From the Beginning, an Exploration in Genesis”, Genesis Chapters 1-50 

* CALVARY KIDS WEDNESDAY NIGHT YOUTH CLUB - Ages 5 through 5th Grade Wednesdays from 6:30-8:30

The children will be brought back to the parents at the Fellowship Hall Foyer at 8:30.

* Have your children bring a friend or neighbor, we promise they will be welcomed with smiles and enthusiasm. We are always excited to see new faces and teach them about Jesus! 

The Kids will continue to explore the Fruit of the Spirit through creative, travel themed lessons. We will take them on an exciting journey filled with stories, fun, prayer and discovery. They will learn about expressing God’s love to others through caring actions and healthy attitudes, with the help of God’s Spirit. The children will be also decorating a hands-on bulletin board, each week, as we travel down the road, and gather the Fruit of the Spirit.
