Midweek Memory Work

 Midweek Memory Work for April 7

(Note: The memory assignment is cumulative, meaning the 5th grade knows the 3-4 grade material as well as their own. Same with the 7-8 grade; they know all the memory from grade 3-8)

Grades 3-4: Colors of the Church Year

 Black:  (Ash Wednesday, Good Friday) Reminds us of our sorrow at our Savior’s suffering

 Blue: (Advent) Reminds us of the blessed eternal hope that is ours in Christ

 Green: (Epiphany and Trinity Sundays) Represents the Christian life and growth in faith

 Red or Scarlet: (Pentecost) The color of fire, representing the coming of the Holy Spirit. 

  Used on certain saints’ days to represent the blood of martyrs.

  Remembrance of Christ’s blood shed for us

 White: (Christmas, Epiphany, Easter, Trinity) The color of purity, holiness, glory, and joy

Grades 5-6: Romans 12:1-2 I appeal to you therefore, brothers, by the mercies of God, to present your bodies as a living sacrifice,   holy and acceptable to God, which is your spiritual worship. Do not be conformed to this world, but be transformed by   the renewal of your mind, that by testing you may discern what is the will of God, what is  good and acceptable and    perfect.

Grades 7-8: All of the above
