Bible Memory Program Details
Goal: Memorization of various portions of the Bible for Families, Sunday School Students, Pioneer Girls, Boys Brigade, and Youth. All Adults are encouraged to memorize the Bible Memory Program.
Time: October through June.
Incentives: Grand award for all of the assignments successfully completed by the children will be money applied to a week at a Christian camp, or a teen may apply it toward a summer missions trip. If the child is not going to camp, a gift certificate will be given for purchase of books, videos or CD's at a Christian Bookstore. After the successful completion of the 3rd.assignment, a gift certificate for an ice cream sundae at Friendly's will be given. Suggested camps (but not limited to these) include: Harvey Cedars, Deerfoot Lodge, Camp Cedarbrook, Word of Life, Camp of the Woods, Sacandaga Bible Camp, and Northern Frontier.
Assignments: There is a suggested schedule. The idea is NOT TO WAIT until the last minute to do everything, because of the Review Requirement.
1. The whole church (through the growth groups) memorize the same Bible passages each year.
2. The regular standards of the Bible Memory program will apply to all memorization. Each assignment is to be memorized with only 3 mistakes allowed. From the second recitation, and after, any one of the previous passages will be included for review. Please bring your own Bible with you for recitation. Remind the hearer to record your recitation.
Church and Parental support: We need everyone to be supportive of this Program. It will only be successful if we all realize the value of committing God's Word to memory and parents will work with their children. Children need our support and encouragement. Last year many families, including the parents, successfully memorized all of the assignments. This year we are urging all adults to participate. The results will be worth it. Other members of the congregation can be supportive by volunteering as hearers.
