Scripture memory plays an important role in the discipleship of our children, and our desire is to assist you with a tool you may find helpful. If your children participate, feel free to choose which Bible version you would like them to memorize. The teachers are prepared to hear recitation from the KJV, NASB, or ESV. You may also determine how much of the verse they are able to handle. For example, all or part of the bolded portions of the verses may be appropriate portions for the 2‐5 year‐old classes. Should you need an additional copy, the verses are also posted on our Sunday school web page at www.mountcalvarybaptist.org/ss‐children. Thank you, Pastor Vincent
