Burns Flat Cumberland Presbyterian Church: memorizing scripture

There is a strong connection between knowing significant parts of the Bible and staying strong in the faith. Know that, in 2015, this congregation set out to memorize a verse or set of verses each month.

We continue what we hope to be a longstanding and fruitful tradition.

This is for all ages.
