At the beginning of the week, we told the kids that they would have an opportunity to memorize the Bible verse that we would be discussing that day to be eligible for a prize. Surprisingly, most ALL the kids joined in this competition. All of them had a great memory and they all would do this each day with eagerness! Of course, the treasure box full of candy like M&M’s, Twix, and other Russian candy that was available was certainly an enticement for all ages.
After the Bible Lesson, the kids would see the Memory Verse that Nadezhda would put on a poster so they could memorize. Pastor Slava and Sergey would manage this and get the kids to say and memorize the verse. The first day was easy… they only had to memorize Monday’s verse, but on Tuesday they had to memorize both Monday and Tuesday’s verse! It seems I had t make a couple of trips to the store to buy more candy!
At the end of the week, we had a competition for those that memorized all five verses and would be the first to recite them. We also had prizes for those who helped the most, showed the best servant attitude, and several other prizes. I was pleasantly surprised that the kids would participate in this so well and show so much enthusiasm!
