2023 Memory verse challenge

This year, we are challenging our members to incorporate scripture memory into their morning quiet times. We are planning on coming together 2 times this year and test each other’s scripture memory. We are hopeful many of our church members will earn the 25, 50, or even the 100 verse pins!

For when I am weak, then I am strong.
