Children’s Ministry Newsletter March 2026

Hello Heritage KIDS and Families!


As we step into the month of March, we also enter the meaningful season of Lent—a time to slow down, reflect, and prepare our hearts for Easter. Throughout this month, our Bible curriculum will focus on humility, compassion, and putting Jesus first as we explore how following Him shapes the way we treat others. In Elementary, our God’s Big Story series will highlight Jesus’ example of humility and love, encouraging kids to “value others more than yourselves” (Philippians 2:3). Our Little KIDS will discover that Jesus is amazing! as they learn about His miracles and His love. We have many special events ahead, including Communion Sunday on March 1st (9am & 11am), Skate Night on March 6th (6:30–8:30pm), and Palm Sunday on March 29th featuring a 9am Pancake Breakfast, Palm Processional (RSVP required), and our 10am combined Hope Has A Reason service. As we continue through Holy Week, join us for The Living Last Supper (April 2nd, 7pm), Good Friday Service (April 3rd, 7pm), and Easter Services (April 5th at 7am, 9am, & 11am). We look forward to growing together as we reflect on Jesus’ love and celebrate the hope we have in Him!

     BOTTOM LINE  Jesus is amazing!. 

    MEMORY VERSE “We have seen amazing things today!” (Luke 5:26 NLT)
