Memory Verse:
“All Scripture is inspired by God and is useful to teach us what is true and to make us realize what is wrong in our lives. It corrects us when we are wrong and teaches us to do what is right. God uses it to prepare and equip His people to do every good work.” 2 Timothy 3:16-17 (NLT)

Activity
Learn the memory verse for the week as a family (2 Timothy 3:16-17 NLT)! Gather the family in a circle and find a ball or an object to pass around the circle. Have someone kick off the verse by saying the first word: “All” and then have them pass the object to the next person and they will say “Scripture”. Continue passing the ball or object until you say the whole memory verse!
