Scripture in the Mind and Heart

Pat Canavan, Director of Children's Ministries, sent this info regarding scripture memory work:

I thought you might like an update on the memory work results now that we have reached the final deadline for the school year. In grades 1-6, we have an enrollment of 129 children. Of that number, 78 children completed their memory work for the year, an astounding 60%. We had an even more astounding 91% of our kids participate in the program. If you saw what they had to memorize, you would be doubly impressed; it is a massive body of scripture and catechism. Pray that this scripture would be remembered and take root in their lives as they enter the turbulent teen years.
