It's Memory Challenge Time!
As part of Rotation Sunday School (K to 4th grade) and the Followers Sunday School (5th grade), each grade is given Bible verses to memorize. The goal is to encourage our children to develop a desire to write God’s Word on their hearts. Participation is not required, but it is our hope that you will encourage your child to join in! Here’s how it works:

In the “Mouse Pad” (computer room), each child will log into their grade level and name to begin working on their assigned Memory Challenge. Shepherds are encouraged to review the challenge with the children. The children will also receive a copy of their challenge.
You can check to see which verses your child has learned by clicking here to see the online spreadsheet!
When your child has mastered the verses assigned for his/her age level, they will receive a button (pin) to commemorate the accomplishment.
When your child masters all the challenges for Kindergarten through 5th grade, he/she will earn a gorgeous plaque with his/her picture along with the words “Jesus is Mine.”

Students of any age are welcome to do ALL of the challenges, regardless of the level listed. The listed level is to simply provide a guideline. Click the grade level above to see the verses assigned to your child, and also who has successfully memorized their verses!
