OCC Boxes
We found a blog with a fantastic idea to help your kids learn the importance of giving back! If you're packing OCC boxes this week with your kids, be sure to involve your kids in conversations about helping others and being a light to the world.
Operation Christmas Child boxes are due back to the church by November 11. Your kids can bring them in to the Bible Trek room, or you can leave it at the table in the lobby.
Happy packing!

Memory Verses Quarter 1
The first quarter of memory verses is almost done! When the quarter is over, your kids will no longer be able to memorize these verses for credit, so help your kids catch up while they still can.
Your kids have to opportunity to memorize verses over the course of each Bible Trek year. When they memorize a verse they will receive a coin to spend at the prize locker! At the end of the year we tally up all the memory verses your child has memorized and the kids who have memorized 75% of our verses become "Verse Masters" and receive a trophy. We strongly encourage you to work with your kids on memorizing their verses throughout the year.
We will split the year into four quarters. During each quarter, your child has the opportunity to memorize any and all verses from that quarter of the year. Please don't get ahead of our lessons. Once a quarter is finished, your child will not have to opportunity to memorize those verses for credit again.
Here is our first quarter's worth of verses:
Verses are next to the week that corresponds with the day they were sent home. So 2 Corinthians 5:17 was handed out on September 9 and due on September 16.
9/9/12 - 2 Corinthians 5:17
9/16/12 - Genesis 1:27
9/22/12 - Genesis 4:7
9/30/12 - Exodus 15:1a
10/7/12 - Psalm 119:2
10/14/12 - Proverbs 16:32
10/21/12 - 1 Samuel 16:7b
10/28/12 - Psalm 28:7a
11/4/12 - Proverbs 13:20
All of our verses are taken from the New International Version (NIV) of the Bible. This is so that when your kids are older if they want to get involved in Bible Quizzing they will already have a lot of verses memorized! The best way to help your kids keep God's Word in their heads and hearts is to practice with them throughout the week before each verse is due.
Lynn Northup is our leader in charge of Memory Verses this year. If you have any questions or comments, feel free to leave them here or ask either Lynn or Elizabeth!
