Weekly Memory Verse
Please participate in our project to memorize

Children will learn the bold text, and the rest
of the congregation will learn the whole text.
Today’s memory verse:
Proverbs 3:5-7
Trust in the Lord with all your heart
and lean not on your own understanding;
in all your ways submit to him,
and he will make your paths straight.
Do not be wise in your own eyes;
fear the Lord and shun evil.
The verse to memorize by Sunday, March 15:
Philippians 4:13
I can do all things through Him
who gives me strength.
