- use “Hope” and/or “Hurricanes” in the design (examples: Go Hope Go! or Go Hurricanes!)

Bible Memory Seminar offered by Fraser Valley Continuing Education
*** This course has been organized specifically for Hope Lutheran attendees. For extra information see this website***
(If the time doesn’t work for you, and you want to attend, there are other time slots available, just ask.)
Cost: $69.99 + tax
Online Livestreamed Bible Memory Seminar is being offered by Fraser Valley Continuing Education.
The seminar is 4 sessions on Wednesdays 10:00-11:30 am; Zoom only; June 4 – June 25.
Course Description: Learn to train your brain to remember extended passages from the Gospels word-perfectly. You will be amazed at how easy this is! Learn 12 strategies that will help you encode ANY Bible verses and their references in such a way that you will NOT forget them. You will learn to keep the verses for long-term memory. Build your own “memory palace” in order to have the content of entire books of the Bible at your fingertips. These strategies are tried and true, and leave people wondering why they weren’t taught them years ago. The results are instant and amazing!
During the course you will:
- Learn how to initially learn the verse without the mind wandering; then how to review it so it flows from your lips; and finally, how to retain it for the long term
- Memorize the 7 Sayings from the Cross; the Fruit of the Spirit; and many other select verses during the course (We can also look at passages you want to learn.)
- Memorize the content of Mark Chapter 1 (Material is provided to continue on and memorize the content of the rest of the book.)
- Memorize 40 Names of Jesus
- Have several verses used for the praise of God at your fingertips
- How to read and remember what you read
- How to memorize apologetics arguments
- How to write personal reflections and to meditate on Scripture
… and much more!
