Summer Memory Challenge, Part 1
This year’s challenge will come in three parts. We are beginning our challenge with the books of the Bible. Memorize the books of either the New Testament or the entire Bible in order, and you will get to pull a prize from our treasure box! Later in the summer, we will be memorizing a passage of Scripture together as well. Let’s commit the Lord’s precious Word to memory together!
Here is a memory aid to help you to memorize all thirty-nine books of the Old Testament:
Summer Memory Challenge, Part 2
For the second part of our memory challenge this year, anyone who can recite verses from previous summers will get a prize from our treasure box. It is good to look back and refresh our memory on these powerful words from Scripture. Though we might have forgotten them, we might be surprised at how quickly they come back with a little time and meditation. Here are the full passages we memorized, though there were more brief selections each time available for the younger ones.
Psalm 19:1–14
Psalm 145:1–13
Proverbs 3:1–12
Matthew 5:3–12
John 15:1–17
Ephesians 1:15–23
Philippians 4:4–9
Colossians 3:1–17
