Scripture Memory Program

Each year, we select nine scriptures for memorization by primary children, juniors, youth, and adults. These scriptures are chosen to relate to the Conference President's theme for the year. This list of scriptures to be memorized is sent to Seventh Day Baptist churches in September. Beginning in 1994, these scriptures were also printed in The Sabbath Recorder.

At the end of the memorization year, each church submits the names of those who have learned the designated scriptures. We prepare certificates for each person, present the Mary G. Clare Scripture Memorization Award to the church submitting the most names, and recognize the churches that meet the requirements of the Honor Roll. The certificates are distributed during the Board's program at General Conference and the names are listed in a fall issue of The Sabbath Recorder.
