Memory Verse: Recite on March 29th

Matthew 8:2-4

And there was a leper who came to him and knelt before him, saying, “Lord, if you choose, you can make me clean.” He stretched out his hand and touched him, saying, “I do choose. Be made clean!” Immediately his leprosy was cleansed. Then Jesus said to him, “See that you say nothing to anyone; but go, show yourself to the priest, and offer the gift that Moses commanded, as a testimony to them.”

We are getting close to the end of the book.  Be thinking about the Book Project you would like to do for Amos Fortune Free Man.  I have a link for the ideas below.  Choose a project you have not done before.
