Sticky Scripture Station™
Take Bible memory from the head to the heart…like never before!
Bible-Deep versus Bible-Wide
It feels great to hear kids recite memory verses from the VBS week! But did kids really learn what that Scripture means? Do they understand the context? Have they considered how it applies to everyday life?
It’s one thing to reel-off lots of verses--that’s Bible-wide. With Sticky Scripture, you’ll help kids deepen their Bible literacy skills in surprising ways. They’ll dive into God’s Word with multiple senses, understanding the words, where they are in Scripture, and how the verse applies to them today. That’s Bible-deep, and it changes everything!
In Sticky Scripture kids experience:
A fun, interactive daily video that explores the meaning of the verse
Motions and visuals that help them remember the verse
Scripture exploration that adds important context to the verse and teaches hands-on Bible navigation skills
New for 2024
