MEMORY—3rd and 4th grade
(Be able to recite on Friday)
Close of the Commandments Part 1
What does God say about all these commandments? He says: “I, the LORD your God, am a jealous God, punishing the children for the sin of the fathers to the third and fourth generation of those who hate Me, but showing love to a thousand generations of those who love Me and keep My commandments.”
NEXT WEEK'S MEMORY...
Close of the Commandments Part 2
What does this mean? God threatens to punish all who break these commandments. Therefore, we should fear His wrath and not do anything against them. But He promises grace and every blessing to all who keep these commandments. Therefore, we should also love and trust in Him and gladly do what He commands.

Emergency Closing Reminder…Because we are reaching the peak of hurricane season, I wanted to remind you of our emergency closing policy. We will close when Broward County Schools close (Hurricane Warning). We will re-open when the school is deemed safe and all utilities are working properly.
