  1. I have church services twice a month at a area nursing home and rehabilitation center.
    A number of the patients have had strokes or dementia.
    So,I am reintroducing things that they at one time knew, such as The Lord’s Prayer.
    Tomorrow, I will be talking about bible verses.
    Come to this site to get information to use with these patients.

  2. I was very happy to find this list! However, there are some typos. Please correct these, so that children copying these will have an accurate model. Proper spelling, punctuation, grammar and usage is as essential as the messages of these verses. Thank you!
    #1 – Please be sure to add periods at the end, even if it is a partial quote. Kids should see this modeled.
    #2 Acts 16:31 – Believe **IN** the Lord Jesus Christ
    #3 Proverbs 14:5 **AN** honest witness does not lie; a false witness **BREATHES** lies.
    #4 You have Acts 16:31 listed twice.
    #5 John 3:23 is listed as 1John 3:23.
    #6 Psalm 118:24 – You have a capital letter in “Let” following the semicolon (;). Please note, the word following a semicolon is always lowercase.
    #7 Psalm 138:1 – Remove the quotes. These are not necessary.
    Again, thank you for putting these together!

  3. This may help with the little ones my church made up verses by only using 5 fingers… like The Lord is my Shepard , I am special and loved. This is easy and they can remember by using their fingers!

  4. Love this idea. My dad has Alzheimers and has difficulty reading his bible. He is currently in rehab after a fall. I will print some of these verses to hang on his wall.

  5. Heather,
    Thanks so much for your feedback. I’m going to email you about doing some editing work for me. : ) no joke.

  6. Thank you so much It helps me a lot cause I teach little kids every Sunday and I don’t have Bible verses anymore so I searched it and saw this site God bless you
