Week of March 23-27

Bible: In the upcoming week students will finish their unit about Church History with an assessment and have a new Friendzy lesson. We will also begin our next unit on the book "The Voyage of the Dawn Treader" by C.S. Lewis.

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.”
