2020 Memory Work

The children of CCP memorize Scripture and a short catechism during their daily morning meeting and weekly chapel times. This is what they worked on in 2020-2021.

Philippians 4:4-9

⁴Rejoice in the Lord always.  I will say it again:  Rejoice!
⁵Let your gentleness be evident to all.  The Lord is near.
⁶Do not be anxious about anything, but in everything, by prayer and petition, with thanksgiving, present your requests to God.
⁷And the peace of God, which transcends all understanding, will guard your hearts and your minds in Christ Jesus.
⁸Finally, brothers, whatever is true, whatever is noble, whatever is right, whatever is pure, whatever is lovely, whatever is admirable–if anything is excellent or praiseworthy–think about such things.
⁹Whatever you have learned or received or heard from me, or seen–put it into practice.  And the God of peace will be with you.

Galatians 5:22-23

²²But the fruit of the spirit is love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, goodness, faithfulness,
²³gentleness and self-control.  Against such things there is no law.

1 Corinthians 13:4-8a

New International Version (NIV, 1984)

⁴ Love is patient, love is kind. It does not envy, it does not boast, it is not proud.
⁵ It is not rude, it is not self-seeking, it is not easily angered, it keeps no record of wrongs.
⁶Love does not delight in evil but rejoices with the truth.
⁷ It always protects, always trusts, always hopes, always perseveres.
⁸Love never fails.
