Week of March 16-20

Bible: In the upcoming week students will continue their unit about Church History and have a new Friendzy lesson. We will dive into Apologetics and complete a project about defending our faith. Then we will start reviewing for an upcoming assessment.

Friendzy: This month in Friendzy, our focus is Uniquely You. In this unit, students will learn and celebrate the truth that God created each of us with purpose and intention. Our goal is for every child to understand that they are God’s masterpiece—wonderfully made and deeply valued.

We’ll explore how true beauty comes from the inside and how our differences are gifts that make our world richer and more vibrant. This unit is grounded in Scripture, with special focus on:

• Psalm 139:14 – “I am fearfully and wonderfully made.”

• Ephesians 2:10 – “For we are God’s masterpiece. He has created us anew in Christ Jesus, so we can do the good things He planned for us long ago.”
