This memory verse video corresponds with the Lesson 1 Memory Verse! Thank you, John, Rachel, and Grace P!
Memory Verse Pages
The Junior memory verse system is very similar to the primary memory verse system. The main difference is that the verses will be slightly longer (usually 2 verses instead of 1) and only 3 verses will be on a sheet of paper at a time. Hopefully, this will help you keep memory verses all in one place and make reviewing easier. Here are some brief instructions for how the memory verse system works:
- Print out the blank “Memory Verse” page … enough for each student. Place in a plastic pocket in the student’s binder.
- Each week, print the memory verse that goes along with the lesson. Attach it to the “Memory Verse” page in the student’s binder.
- Once the sheet is full, print a new “Memory Verse” page to put in the student’s binder. Every three weeks, we will upload a new sheet of memory verses.
- On review weeks, have the student choose a verse from one of the previous weeks to review for homework.
- Keep all the memory verses together for the year!

Practical Challenge
Thank you Kate B for these Practical Challenges!
David showed great kindness to Mephibosheth. Your challenge this week is to go out of your way to show kindness to someone else. Maybe you could send a card to someone to say that you’re thinking about them; or make some cookies to share with others, or it could be as simple as letting others go in front of you in a line at school or going out of your way to play with someone who is on their own.
