A Message For You The purpose of this scripture Memory Plan is to help you develop good Scripture memory habits. God s Word will teach you how to know, love and Follow Him. Begin now and you will discover His wonderful plan for your life. Your Sunday School teachers will help and encourage you in this program. They will keep record of the verses that you have completed. Everyone in your grade will have the same plan. And Your Parents It is our hope that your child will have your involvement and encouragement in the Bible Memory Plan. Reviewing each day will help your child memorize and retain scriptures for use in their daily life. Please help your child by explaining each verse. It will be an inspiration to your child when you learn the verses together. This program does not replace the Sunday School Curriculum verses. (The New International Version of the Bible is used.) No one will be called on to recite in front of a large group against his or her wishes.
This leaflet will help you as you memorize verses and passages from the Bible, God s Word. A Bible Memory Plan Just For You! As you progress from first grade through sixth grade in our church. Each year you will have a different Bible Memory Plan designed just for your grade. Who will take part? When will we do all these things? Your Sunday School teachers encourage you in this program. You will learn some verses on Sunday mornings and you will need to study at home. You should ask Mom and Dad to help you learn and to learn more verses with you! Your Sunday School Teachers will explain more. How much of this will I need to learn? We hope you will want to learn all levels of this plan. Pray and ask God what you should do. And if I do learn it, what then? Important Questions At the end of April, we will have the Children s Scripture Memory Banquet for each child and their family who completes each level. At that time, each child who has completed the Bronze Medal Level, Silver Medal Level, and the Gold Medal Level will be awarded their bronze, silver, or gold medals respectively.
