Bible Story: The Garden of Gethsemane
Bible Theme: Jesus prays.
Scripture: Mark 14:26-42
Weaving Faith Into Life:  Through this passage, children will understand the purpose of prayer.
  
Are you being a FaithWeaver this week?  Try this fun faith-growing activity with your child: read this week's Scripture, Mark 14:26-42, together and have the children create a prayer list.  Encourage your child or children to take time each day to find a nice, quiet place in your home to lift up your list of prayer concerns before God.

Vacation Bible School Registration
Registration for VBS kicks off Sunday, April 3, in the Atrium. Our theme for this year is Growing God's Word in Your Heart and will run June 13-16, 6:15-8 pm each evening. This year we will focus on agriculture in God's Word.  Registration will continue through April 17 in Calvary's Atrium and through the KidVenture website until May 1. New for this year, all registration and fee payments will take place through Calvary's secure, online registration form.  Register your children ages 4 by September 1, 2011 up through entering 5th grade in the Fall of 2011.  A donation of $5 per child, requested at the time of registration,  this helps to cover snacks, crafts, and a t-shirt.  There are many volunteer opportunities for the week of VBS.  Please check out the registration form and sign-up to serve God's children as we connect with God, one another and our world. Contact: kidventure@connectwithcalvary.org.
