Memory Work Challenge

   Students are invited to challenge their memory and write God's word on their hearts with our NEW Memory Work Challenge! 

Each month during Sunday School there will be a new verse to learn through music, games, and memory. Students who recite the verse 4 times to their teacher will earn a new bible verse charm each month. 

By the end they will have a heart full of Gods promises and a bracelet full of reminders of who God is. Dig into Gods word today! 

 

Deuteronomy 6:6-9 These commandments that I give you today are to be on your hearts. Impress them on your children. Talk about them when you sit at home and when you walk along the road, when you lie down and when you get up. Tie them as symbols on your hands and bind them on your foreheads. Write them on the doorframes of your houses and on your gates.

Milestones

Milestones

Faith Milestones are all about helping children, families and adults see God in their everyday!  We take common events or moments in our lives and the lives of our children to celebrate and ask God to bless them, guide them and be with them.  We hope to equip and encourage our families to see that being with God is more than just something we do on Sunday, but that God is a part of our everyday.  No matter if we are celebrating the beginning of school, learning something new or welcoming them into the family of God…all these moments are God moments.

One way to do this is through cradle roll…
