2014-2015 Awana Memory Program
Each Sunday last year, we posted a memory verse from our staff memory program. (All staff at Awana are strongly encouraged to say these verses.) We are currently in the second year of a three-year plan to memorize a verse from each book of the Bible. Many of you have told us that you’ve been doing this individually or with other leaders in your church.
Because our blog platform has changed, we are no longer posting these each Sunday. We know some of you miss them (you’ve told us) and we want to give you the opportunity to continue.
So here are the Bible books, the summary and the verses for the first half of the coming year. We’re posting them in ESV, but you are, of course, free to learn them in any version you desire. (I will also include the Headquarter schedule, so you can pace yourself.)
