Wednesday Night Bible Memory

In Launch! children’s ministry, our desire is to walk alongside families enabling their child to experience the love of Christ, to know Jesus as their personal Savior and to become His disciple. Because knowing what God says is essential in that process, we want to support you and work with you to motivate and help your child memorize important verses and points from the Bible.

To help with this, we are developing Units of verses and facts for your child to memorize at home. Each Unit will have 5 or 6 items to memorize. If you want to take to participate, work on the verses with your child at home; after they say a verse or fact from memory for you, sign-off on the verse and have your child bring in the Unit paper on Wednesday night. We’ll sign-off on them after they say them for us. Then, once a child completes a Unit, we’ll give them the next unit, as well as a small, but fun, prize to show them that we are proud of the work they’ve put in. Every 2 weeks on Wednesday night we’ll introduce a new Unit; but, your child can work at the pace that is most comfortable for them. Unit 1 was distributed on Wednesday, September 10, so you can begin work as soon as you’d like.

We will always continue to teach kids about the importance of knowing what God says through the Bible so that we can support you in your efforts to lay a spiritual foundation which, in God’s timing will lead a child into a relationship with God through Jesus Christ.

Wednesday nights are also full of guaranteed fun games, Bible teaching and a chance to be with friends. It's a great hour and a half for kids to have fun learning to love life God's way in the middle of the week.

If you have any questions, please call me. I’d like to help. My office number is 303-422-1235.

Blessings,

John Mullis

Children’s Ministry Director

P.S. We’ll be taking all the 1st-5th grade Wednesday night Oasis kids on a fun field trip on November 19. We’ll let you know more details soon!
