Memory Work is important to our students and to all who share Christian beilefs. By learning Bible verses and scripture by heart and committing it to memory we arm ourselves with the power of God's teachings. These teachings are a help in times of trouble and stress as well as source from which to sing God's praises in times of great joy!
