♥ Use the enclosed templates for Scripture memorization with your students.
♥ Bible verse hearts can be copied onto colored cardstock. Students may want to
keep them in their notebooks at school for practice between classes.
♥ Bible verse sheets can be copied onto cardstock and made into a booklet for study
at your After-school Program. They can also be copied onto white copy paper and
distributed weekly for at home study.
♥ The “Love Never Fails” Scripture memory can be used many different ways. If you
are ambitious, the entire chapter of 1 Corinthians 13 is available, verse by verse, for
memorization. If you prefer smaller “chunks” at a time, 1 Corinthians 13:4-8 is avail-
able for a 16 week study, by breaking each verse into smaller, easier to memorize
parts. Whichever you choose, use this time to teach what each attribute of love
means and how it can be practiced.
