Here at Do Not Depart we love memorizing scripture together to strengthen our faith, to spend time with God, and to plant hopeful truths in our heart for the future.
If you’ve ever wanted to memorize a Bible chapter, but thought you were . . .
- too busy
- too unmotivated
- too memory-challenged
- too undisciplined
- too bored
. . . it may be time to change your mind.

Hi! I had hoped to join you all, but am late registering. The registration ‘form’ doesn’t seem to be working for me. I fill out the info and hit register and ‘poof’ it goes of into cyberspace with no acknowledgment and no email to my address. Can you help? –Dawn
Sorry about that, Dawn. Unfortunately, these registration forms are sometimes unreliable. So I added you in manually with the email address you used here. You can go in and change that in your preferences if you’d like, once you receive the email. Which hopefully you’ve now received! :)
Please let us know if you still don’t get anything, and I’ll check on it again. You should be now receiving the questions & answer email and the resources email.
