Children’s Ministry Newsletter May 2026

Hello Heritage KIDS and Families!


It’s a busy and exciting month as we gear up for summer—and celebrate graduation season as many of our kids and families step into new stages! Be sure to check out our camp schedule and secure your spot, or join the waitlist if camps fill up.

Our camps wouldn’t be possible without amazing staff and volunteers, and we would love to have more adults and teens join us in serving this summer.

This month, kids are learning that even when life is hard, they can keep going because God is with them (Galatians 6:9). Through stories from Acts and beyond, they’ll discover perseverance and trust in God’s plan, while also being reminded that Jesus cares about everyone.

And don’t miss our final skate night of the 2026 season on May 8th!
