Faithful Fourth Graders

CAJ: Equipping students to impact the world for Christ

Language Arts: Spelling: Bible:
We will continue learning about judges. Memory work: Psalm 24: 1-4
The earth is the LORDs, and everything in it, the world, and all who live in it; for he founded it upon the seas and established it upon the waters. Who may ascend the hill of the LORD? Who may stand in his holy place? He who has clean hands and a pure heart, who does not lift up his soul to an idol or swear by what is false.
