There was a time, in the not so distant past, that we encouraged bringing Bibles to church. We celebrated in Sunday School as incoming third graders were presented a personalized Bible during the church service. Then, the first several months of SS for them was devoted to learning how to use the Bible. This was built upon in 4th and 5th grades, including the encouragement of memorization of Scripture. This was foundational work that was then picked up and revisited during confirmation in 7th grade. I am excited to see a rebirth of effort around getting daily scripture into the hands of the Aldersgate family. Thanks for leading!
