In my previous blog I talked about a couple of different crafts to make to display memory verses for children. As I mentioned before, I just recently started teaching a children’s Bible class on Sunday mornings. Each week I try to find a memory verse for the children that is not only easy enough for them to remember, but also easy for them to understand. Depending on the age of your child, you may need to shorten the length of the verses that I cite below.
