THIS PAST SUNDAY:

Your children learned about God's fruit of FAITHFULNESS

THEME: Faithfulness
LEARN IT: We show we are faithful when we choose to complete a task without being asked
BIBLE STORY: "The fig tree with no fruit." Luke chapter 13:6-9
LINK IT: Distractions can keep us from doing what is important. Distractions can keep us from reading our Bible and praying. Distractions can keep us from growing in our relationship with God.
LIVE IT: Being faithful means, when you know what to do you follow through. As you complete each day's tasks pray, "God, help me to be an example of your faithfulness in every area of my life."
COMPASS POINT: "Before they ask, complete the task!"
MEMORY MAX: "Yes, the way to identify a tree or a person is by the kind of fruit that is produced." Matthew 7:20
PRAYER: God, thank you for your awesome faithfulness to us. We want to be people who show faithfulness in our lives everyday. Help us to be faithful sons and daughters, faithful students, faithful friends and faithful followers of Jesus.Give us strength to faithfully complete the things we have committed to do this week. In Jesus' name, Amen.

JULY 3 FAMILY WORSHIP

The Calvary family will join together for a single worship service on Sunday, July 3, at 10 am. Nursery care will be provided during the service, however KidVenture and Calvary Student Ministries (CSM) programs will not meet in order to encourage families to worship together. Please join us for this family-oriented, interactive service!

THIS IS FOR REEL Family Sermon Series for July 10, 17, 24 & 31
During the month of July, families are encouraged to bring their children with them to worship each Sunday to hear a message that highlights Bible themes found in family movies, such as Finding Nemo, the Lion King, and Toy Story. Please join us for this exciting series!

KidVenture classroom programs will continue to be available for our preschool and kindergarten children, and as always, nursery care will be provided weekly. KidVenture for grades 1-5 will be incorporated into our regular worship services in the Worship Center. Classroom programming for grades 1-5 will resume August 7.

At the closing worship service of Vacation Bible School we shared a video culminating the week's activities. We thought you might want to have a second look!

VBS 2011 Connects with The Salvation Army

Our VBS outreach project this year was the Salvation Army. We learned how the Salvation Army uses donated resources to provide for those in need in our community. During the week families donated over $430 and many boxes of canned and paper goods which will help our local Salvation Army and continue to grow good fruit in our community.

Compassion International

KidVenture partners with Compassion International to support a boy from Northeastern Thailand named Tadcha Supawan (Smart). Your offering each week allows Smart to attend the Compassion Child Developmental Center to receive instruction in academics as well as vocational training. Thank you for your continued financial support of Smart as well as your prayers for him and for all the people in his community. Please share the below photo of Smart with your family.
