February Children’s Ministry
Newsletter 2025
Hello Heritage KIDS and Families!
Somehow January has flown by and I welcome you all to February! I hope everyone has had a peaceful time settling back into routines and finding pockets of joy in the constant flow of activity.
In this month we are settling into routine and carrying out a curriculum in K-5th that focuses on how as individuals God has made us in His image to be wonderful in our own talents and abilities and to love one another for who we are. For our preschool students they are diving into the love of Jesus and how Jesus came to love everyone, everywhere. It’s our job to share that love with everyone!
I am so excited to dive into this month's curriculum! We have a lot of events and important dates to keep in mind in the upcoming months. Exciting activities such as summer camp information and the Easter season schedule are released. Please mark your calendars. As always if you are in need of any prayers or have any questions please reach out and have a wonderful month!
