General Instructions
Please record your child reciting the required memory work and text or email it to me by the given due date. I am also on Marco Polo, and you can use that app if you’d like. Please feel free to contact the church office for my contact information if you do not have it. If you need to say them in person, you may make an appointment for Saturday morning. I will also be available most Sundays after Bible class.
You are allowed to record and send different memory work pieces separately even if due on the same day. I’ve distinguished separate pieces with a (|). Use an ESV translation for Bible verses. I ask that you work on the memory work in order and do not get too far ahead unless circumstances demand otherwise. If you have an issue or will be late, please call me.
