Memorization Monday

Have you heard of Memorization Mondays?

There are so many reasons to memorize Scripture—even if you are a bit too old to win a Citation Award. Dwelling on God’s Word centers our thoughts on God and His perfect peace (Isaiah 26:3). This is how the Spirit renews our minds so we won’t be conformed to the world but transformed to discern God’s will (Romans 12:1-2). Jesus often quoted Scripture from memory and held the Scriptures in high regard. Learning Scripture, committing it to memory, and letting it “dwell richly” in us can have a lifelong influence and impact. Memorization can change everything.

So, what is Memorization Monday? Each week during this 2019-2020 ministry year, we will release a new verse on our Instagram account. (Are you following us on Instagram? Now’s a great time to start!)

We have no physical reward to offer you—no pins for your old vest or stickers for your handbook!—yet we kindly challenge you to spend time memorizing, reflecting on, and praying through the presented verses from week to week. We at Awana are committed to instilling a strong biblical foundation in our kids and students, and it is our prayer that leaders, missionaries, volunteers, and parents continue to be renewed by and in God’s Word as well.

So… can we count you in to join each Memorization Monday? Come visit us on Instagram and get started! You can also share the graphics on social media to challenge your friends to join you. We can’t wait to hear testimonies and stories of how God works through this fun, community-building journey into His Word!
