FAITH FORMATION SURVEY
HOW'S YOUR CALVARY HILL GROWING?
I'd love to see a picture of your Calvary Hill, and maybe feature it in the bulletin! How's it growing?
Remember to pray for the people you love and people around the world who need help as you water your Calvary Hill each day!
VACATION BIBLE SCHOOL
VBS is going to space this year! Our theme is "Stellar: Shine Jesus' Light!" Registration for VBS will open on March 20! It's time to get excited! :)
CHILDREN'S LITURGY OF THE WORD
SAINTS ALIVE GAME CARDS
At our March Whole Family Event, kids collected their special "Saint You" card! If you've learned anything from Faith Formation this year, I hope you've learned that saints come in all shapes and sizes. From St. Therese and her Little Way... to St. Wenceslaus who used his position of power to help others... to missionaries like St. Patrick and St. Ignatius who spread the message of Jesus all over the world... There is no one way to serve God!
How will YOU serve God? What kind of saint will YOU be? Fill out your "Saint You" card and add it to your deck! Everyone receives a "Saint You" card... so if you missed the March Whole Family Event, make sure to collect your card from your catechist at this Sunday's class!
If you were absent during one of our classes, you can still earn the cards given out that day! Just follow the directions for earning saint cards on your "How to earn more cards" handout! For a running list of cards that have been given out, scroll to the bottom of this Flocknote!
EARNING MORE SAINT CARDS
I still have cards to give away! Keep earning them throughout the year, and let me know! I'll be happy to put one in the mail to you or leave it at the front desk!
Go to Stations of the Cross any Friday evening during Lent at 7:00 to earn your Go to Stations of the Cross card.
Remember there are lots of prayer cards you can earn, some by memorizing a prayer, and some just by trying a new prayer type:
* Mealtime Prayer ("bless us, O Lord")
* Rosary
* Birthday Prayer (pray for someone on their birthday)
* Glory Be
* Bedtime Prayer (just pray before you go to sleep)
* Our Father
* Guardian Angel Prayer
* Nature Prayer (take a walk in nature and thank God for his creation)
* Hail Mary
* Apostles' Creed
