What is the Scripture Memory Program?

Mary G. Clare Scripture Memorization Award

The Mary G. Clare Scripture Memorization Award was inaugurated in 1996 to honor the Executive Director who originated this program in 1981. A seven-inch silver-plated bowl, engraved with the caption - Mary G. Clare Scripture Memorization Award - and mounted on a base, is a rotating award presented annually at the sessions of the Seventh Day Baptist General Conference to the church receiving the largest number of Scripture Memorization certificates. The fifth time a church receives this award they will be presented with a permanent award, an eight-inch silver-plated bowl engraved with the award name, the church's name and years they received the award.
