Scripture Memory Prayer Partner Program: Scripture Memory is excited for our Prayer Partner Program! We are looking for individuals who would be willing to partner with a Scripture Memory student and intentionally encourage them throughout the year. Prayer Partners would connect periodically with their partner on Sundays and send occasional notes of encouragement. Most importantly they would commit to lifting their partner up in prayer. This partnership is not intended for meeting outside of church. Our hope is that this program will encourage our students while helping them build a meaningful connection with someone in our church family they might not otherwise know. If you would be willing to serve as a Prayer Partner, please sign up by September 27. No person is too old or young to be a partner- you only need a willing heart!! For additional information, please contact Laura Hodel. https://www.PerfectPotluck.com/VFFB8903

Scripture Memory Snack Signup: If you would be willing to prepare a snack for our Scripture Memory students, please use the link below to sign up for an evening! https://www.PerfectPotluck.com/JRJF3679
