Kid's Summer Scripture Memorization Challenge
It's almost June which means summer is here for almost all school districts! The days are longer, the nights are warmer, the pool toys are out, and the kids are crazy!As the mom, you might be looking at this time to rest, relax, and connect with your children. Or just keep your head above water (or the pool-water! ;) )Summer break can be a bittersweet time. Kids really thrive on schedule and structure (even though many protest that they do NOT enjoy it!), so when that's taken away some kids might flounder a bit or loose their place academically. There's lots of information provided by your children's teachers on how to be ready for next year's academic challenges, but I've found that families sometimes want to do the same with their children's spiritual lives but just aren't sure where to start.

You dear children, are from God and have overcome them, because the One who is in you is greater than the one who is in the world. (1 John 4:4)
