Scripture Memory Class

(Scroll to the bottom of the page for the 2013 updates!)

On May 8th, 2011 we started a scripture memory class for families on Sunday evenings. All families, including children, are encouraged to participate. The class will begin with six Sunday evening sessions and may be extended for a full year.

The class follows along with the book “Scripture Memory Made Easy” by Mark Water. It is not necessary to purchase the book to participate in the class.

Each week, two verses will be assigned and discussed during the class and those verses will be memorized during the week. You may use whichever translation of the Bible you prefer, although it is recommended to use an accurate non-paraphrased translation. Popular choices are NASB, NIV, NKJV, ESV and Holman.

On the first week we discussed the reasons we memorize scripture and the memorization process. Each verse should be written on a 3x5 notecard:

On the top left corner, the series name and topic are listed. The first series is “Six Keys”. The topic of the first verse is “Loved by Jesus”. On the top right corner is a series of numbers indicating the year, week and verse number (1/1/1). The second verse for the evening is (1/1/2) and the first verse for the following week is (1/2/1).
