We want our kids to not only casually listen to a Bible story, we want them to participate in it & to bring it home & into their lives to ponder & utilize. This happens by Biblical truths having a chance to sink in via Bible use, games, parental home interactions, & activities and crafts.
It is our high honor to have Alinda Cole as our Calvary Kids Christian Education leader. (Pictured here with husband Allen.) Alinda has a passion for God and children. She is a delight to be with, and her godly example has inspired us many times. Also pictured, one of our parent volunteers, Chris Arends. We rely upon a cooperative effort between parents/ guardians for a healthy CE department.

Help us out! Bass cash shopping... donate? thanks!
Tearza is facilitating our Bass Cash booth on the first Sunday of each month, co-tangent with the lesson being taught. Our children earn bass cash through things like bringing their Bibles, paying attention, answering questions... even in bringing offerings. These are training for adulthood. We welcome your donations, now and all year. Here's a list of possibilities. Thanks so much for helping our kids by supplying our Bass Cash booth.

We can't do it without volunteers!
*There are requirements to be met prior to being able to volunteer with our children. Once volunteers are screened, they join a wonderful warm team of volunteers who work together to see children become Jesus following disciples. We ask all parents to take a role in helping Calvary Kids, whether it's volunteering once a month or being an occasional substitute or some other role, if at all possible (and we know sometimes it's not possible.) Some of our goals... Training disciples, fun, parents knowing each other, and also... not wanting a teacher to ever get burn-out. We want volunteers because the variety provides involvement, passion, discipleship for both kids and adults, safety, and because volunteers get a lot more opportunity to build relationship with other parents and adults. We LOVE our volunteers! |
