▪ What is the rule for the number of layers compared to the number of folds?

Grade 6 – Memory verse – Week of September 26 - 30

God created me – Psalm 139: 13, 14
For you created my inmost being; you knit me together in my mother’s womb, I praise you because I am fearfully and wonderfully made; your works are wonderful, I know that full well.


What TRUTH can we learn from these verses?


Since we know this TRUTH, how are we to respond to God?


What could this (response) look like? (at school, in the classroom, at home)


How can these verses help you grow in your relationship with Jesus Christ?
