2011-12 Bible Memory Verses

(updated 8/18/11)

The bible verse/pin program was very popular in previous years and is being held again this year.  All children are given the opportunity of memorizing a bible passage each month.  On the first Sunday of the month, beginning in October, pins are awarded to those successfully completing the memorization.  Each month children are selected to recite their memorization to the congregation.
