2026 VERSE MEMORY - MEMORIZE, MEDITATE, AND APPLY (MMA)
We want to offer those in the Families in God (FiG) Ministry an opportunity to commit to partnering with other brothers and sisters for spiritual MMA (memorize, meditate and apply). The idea is to spend time in memorization and reflection on the verse(s) associated with the most recent Sunday message. As you go about your day, see if there are opportunities to apply what was preached. Please share with your partner(s) weekly in order to encourage and build up as well as to ask for accountability. Each week, after the message, the verse(s) will be shared on the Google spreadsheet 2026 Verse Memory and also posted on the FiG Facebook page. People will be paired up on a rolling basis as sign-ups are received. The commitment is through the end of the first quarter (end of March) for this go-around. Our prayer is that this can be a blessing and a help as we seek to honor God in our spiritual walk and make good use of our time.
Please sign up here: 2026 Verse Memory - MMA Sign-Up
If you have any questions, please email [email protected].
