SCRIPTURE MEMORY PROGRAM
The Christian Education Committee is pleased to introduce the start of Trinity's Scripture Memorization Program for the '07-08 Sunday School year. It is our desire at Trinity for our youth to: be equipped with the Word for life; be obedient to Christ; learn, grow in, and share the Good News; and be able to stand up against this secular culture that surrounds and bombards us with deceptions, temptations, and untruths. We trust that parents will encourage their students to participate for the right reasons and perhaps take the opportunity to do a little brushing up themselves.

Program Schedule:

Fall 2007 You may begin memorizing. (Use a standard translation.)
December 2007 You will find out who your proctor is and how to contact him/her .
January 2008 You may begin reciting to your proctor. (Only complete sets can be recited to your proctor.)
Memorial Day Weekend 2008 Deadline for Recitations
June 2008 Award Ceremony
