Scripture is being used for day 3 of Group Publishings Shipwrecked VBS.
Memorizing Scripture can be one of the most powerful things we can do for children. The benefits of putting God's Word into a child's heart can change their life. Starting to memorize Scripture at an early age can keep kids away from so many things that could destroy their life.
Chuck Swindoll wrote, "I know of no other single practice in the Christian life more rewarding, practically speaking, than Scripture memorization. . . . No other single exercise pays greater spiritual dividends! Your prayer life will be strengthened. Your witnessing will be sharper and much more effective. Your attitudes and outlook will begin to change. Your mind will become alert and observant. Your confidence and assurance will be enhanced. Your faith will be solidified" (Growing Strong in the Seasons of Life [Grand Rapids: Zondervan, 1994], p. 61).
Psalm 46:10 says "Be still and know that I am God." If you are teaching Sunday School encourage kids to memorize Scripture. Psalm 46:10 is a good one to start with, especially in today's very connected and busy world. It is easy for kids to go through their entire day without being still. The Bible records Jesus getting away to spend quiet time with God.
We have a number of printed verses available as well as blank cards that allow children to write in any verse. Memory Cross cards break the Scripture down into four panels making it easier to memorize, plus the unique design will keep children's interest.
The video below shows how each Memory Cross card folds.
The tracts are amazing. I enjoyed sharing them and showing them off. What a clever way of sharing the gospel. God bless I will be watching for more ideas thanks
These were a perfect addition to the memory crosses. Service was wonderful. Great job getting the format perfect covering all the information we needed in that small space. Thank you.
One of the most engaging ways in which children can lean about this Bible Event which did occur (not a story which may have been made up) while enjoying the activity of coloring.
We give these away in our summer reading program every year. This is our 5th year. So much variety makes these a great addition to church visitor bags, kids gift bags, door to door hand outs, or just something in your purse to leave with your tip.
We will be taking these with us to Camp Eli in the foothills of the Carpathian Mts. We will use these at a childrens' camp on the last day to reinforce teaching others about Jesus. We are taking enough for the workers to take home to use in local work as well.
Loved the Easter story which touches on all the important facts. Everyone loved it. The movement and action of the cross help reinforce the greatest story ever told!
I have bought these cards several times for my 1st and 2nd grade Sunday school class. Kids love to unfold them and see the story. I love that the card focuses on Jesus his triumphant entry,death and resurrection. The kids can share the story with others.
