LENT SCRIPTURE MEMORIZATION
Lent is a season to give up something in order to focus more on Jesus. It commemorates the 40 days that Jesus fasted in the desert and was tempted by the devil. Some people choose to give up earthly pleasures like certain types of food, watching TV, or using social media. This type of fasting can be beneficial in turning our eyes and attention on the Lord.
We can also take this opportunity to add a spiritual discipline or practice to our season of Lent that helps us draw closer to Jesus. One such practice that we are going to attempt as a church is Scripture memorization.
From Ash Wednesday to Easter Sunday (March 5 - April 20), we will be memorizing 1 Corinthians 13 together.
This is how it will work:
STEP 1
Join our Lent Scripture Memorization Group on Memento, through your desktop, mobile or app: https://albums.memento.com/uaclent2025
STEP 2
Follow along each week by memorizing two verses from 1 Corinthians 13.
Record yourself reciting the verses of the week and other previously memorized verses, uploading it into the appropriate folder.
- Week 1 - March 5 - 9: 1 Corinthians 13:1
- Week 2 - March 10 - 16: 1 Corinthians 13:2-3
- Week 3 - March 17 - 23: 1 Corinthians 13:4-5
- Week 4 - March 24 - 30: 1 Corinthians 13:6-7
- Week 5 - March 31 - April 6: 1 Corinthians 13:8-9
- Week 6 - April 7 - 13: 1 Corinthians 13:10-11
- Week 7 - April 14 - 20: 1 Corinthians 13:12-13
STEP 3
Watch, comment and encourage others on their videos displaying their memorization of 1 Corinthians and be encouraged as others comment and cheer you on too!
STEP 4
This is most important: take the time need to meditate and reflect on God's love in 1 Corinthians 13 as you memorize!
The point isn't to be experts at memorization, but to spend intentional time this season of Lent with the Lord and His word, while doing so in community.
