Scripture Memory Verses 2011-2012
Theme: “Are You Ready?”
The 2011–12 program is based on the theme chosen by Conference President Pastor John J. Pethtel of the Metro Atlanta SDB Church. These verses were chosen to be memorized by the family. Anyone who prefers may memorize one or more of these verses from a different Bible version. For those who prefer to memorize contiguous sections of Scripture, this year's long text is
1 Thessalonians 1.
A list of persons from each church who have completed this Scripture Memorization Program should be submitted to the Board of Christian Education Office. The postmarked deadline is July 1, 2012. Certificates for those who memorize all verses will be distributed at the 2012 General Conference.
