Scriptures For Children To Learn
This list contains fifty-two verses of Scripture to be learned by children ages 9-12. These are good to use as memory verses in Sunday School, one for each Sunday for a year. They may also be used as memory verses in home worship, a different one for each week of the year. How important it is for children to hide the Word of God in their minds while they are young and impressionable. How profitable it is for us to encourage and aid them to do so!
