CURRENT MEMORY VERSE = Psalm 23:1-3

Welcome to the official page of the Wednesday Night KidsTeam of the Freedom Church in Oak Ridge, NJ. Here you will find our Scripture songs, including the ones KidsChurch is memorizing for Sundays. Some of the songs will be simplified versions of verses appearing elsewhere on this website. 

May you be abundantly blessed as you "hide God's Word in your heart!" (See Psalm 119:11.)

Here is our theme song. It is a cover of the song "Love the Lord" by Lincoln Brewster. [(C) 2014 Integrity Music] We call it our "Love Song," because the first word is "Love," and because we are learning to love the Lord with all our heart, soul, mind and strength. This version is probably too low for most kids, but you can learn the hand motions here. See the words below, as well an audio clip of a higher key. Enjoy!

Mark12.30.mp3

Here is our Love Song in the key of D. 

Love the Lord your God with all your heart, 

with all your soul, 

with all your mind,

and with all your strength.
