February Update

Posted on February 5, 2026 Leave a Comment
Hi Friends!
It sure has been a cold January and a lot of snow too!  One of my kids favorite things to do in winter is head to the outdoor rinks to play hockey with friends… such a great perk for living in Manitoba!  We are looking forward to some warmer weather though and more time outside!
 
Follow along with us over the month of February at home!  See our upcoming lessons and big ideas we want the kids to take home every week. Use the questions below for some dinnertime conversation!

Jesus Heals the Sick People
Read Matthew 9:27-31; 12:9-14; John 5:1-15

Big Idea: Jesus wants me to forgive

February 15: How can you choose kindness this week and show forgiveness to others?
The Unforgiving Servant 
Read Matthew 18:21-35

February 22: Create a simple “welcome home” party for a stuffed animal or character, then talk about how God always forgives us when we come back to Him. Has anyone every forgiven you? How did it feel?
The Lost Son Returns
Read Luke 15:11-24

This month in Elementary Grade 2-4:

February 1: What are some ways we can show kindness to someone who is mean to us?
Jesus Teaches on Loving our Enemies
Read Matthew 38-48

February 22: What worries you right now? Have you told God about it?
Jesus Teaches on Worry
Read Matthew 6:25-34

February Memory Verse

Our monthly memory verse challenge is back this month.

Kids will be taking home a memory verse magnet this Sunday to put on the fridge to help you practice.

Preschool to Grade 1 Memory Verse:

Elementary Grade 2-4 Memory Verse:

 
Don’t forget to mark your calendars to join us for Friday, February 20th from 6 – 9:30pm, for our WRBC Family Night! This is an event for all ages. I hope you can join us and spend time together as a church family.  This is a self-guided night for families to participate in games and fun and get to know one another better. As this is an unsupervised event, please make sure to enjoy the games with your children and supervise the snack time. I’ve attached the flyer for our event below. 
 
Blessings to you all this month. Please reach out if you ever have any questions or if there is something we can pray for.  

In Him,
 
Mrs. Sheilla
