One of us has been hard at work preparing as the new Bible Memory Coordinator of our congregation. Since this one is the same one that does most of the writing for our blog, there hasn't been an entry lately.
The original idea for the new year of Bible memory for our primary department has been entitled "Keys to the Kingdom." Each child will receive a keyring with 10 verses appropriate to their ages. The verses are laminated so the children can handle them without damage. When all 10 verses are memorized they receive a special reward. They get a small treat for each verse learned, and these are kept in a "Treat Treasure Chest."
If this quarter goes well, we will continue this theme. If not, some other ideas will be implemented. One problem has been the lack of involvement for the adolescent boys in our Bible Memory program. A solution may be to peak their interest with a friendly competition against the girl's class of the same age range. The class that has all students complete the memorization will win another special reward of their own choosing (within limits).
It will be an interesting year!
