We have begun DiscipleLand and CLUB 56 for the fall season. There are some new "twists" that we pray will be beneficial longterm.
1. Memory Verses - Children have been encouraged to memorize verses but this year there will be fewer verses. Why? Children do not retain a new verse every week. Repetition will aid retention. So we started with a verse last night that will be repeated each week for the first unit. Then with the new unit a new verse will be added but they will continue to say the former verse. This will continue throughout the year, but the verses they "learn" will stick with them.
2. Bible Reading - Each child is given a bookmark with scripture reading for 5 days of the week. They are encouraged to make a daily habit of reading the Bible. Parents, consider doing this together as a family. Bring the bookmark back next Wednesday.
Why are we emphasizing these habits? I believe it is biblical.
I have hidden your word in my heart that I might not sin against you.
Psalm 119:11
