We encourage you to sign up even if you are brand new to recitation.  You can do it!

 

Your mission, if you choose to accept it, is to recite at least 1 passage as an individual and/or as a family or group in the various forms of recitation that we offer. NO AGE LIMITS!!!!  Individuals, families and/or groups can sign up for as few or as many passages as they would like.  You can do just a little to get your feet wet, or sign up for a whole chapter.  The choice is yours.  You might be surprised at how addicting it is, once you memorize a passage you want to try to memorize more and more, thus giving yourself more of God's word hidden in your heart!  Try it!  We'll help you!

​

You may simply recite your passage or you may use visuals or a dramatization or even singing.  Typically you'll see some of all types of recitations.  We only ask that if you are dramatizing your recitation that you do your best to add to and not distract from the scripture you are sharing.

 

All registrants are encouraged to pray about and reserve each chapter and/or passage with an established idea of how he or she intended to use their recitation to edify & bless others, as well as bring glory to God.

 

All scripture sign ups are ONLY to be made using the volunteer sign up sheet which you will receive in an email after your register.  

​

For those who like to dramatize their recitation with emotional expression, related props & wardrobe, and even assisting, but not disruptive or distracting, sound effects, may do so. (All props, wardrobe & relevant effects were to be disclosed in advance to SEMO ScriptureFest organizers and receive advanced approval.)

 

The passages we have chosen will provide quite a few opportunities to dramatize so get as creative as you like, as long as it is an exact recitation from God's word.  You may use the Bible version of your choice.

​

We want to strive for excellence in the handling of God’s Word. While we desire for all Bible recitations to be enjoyable for the orator, we especially want it to be edifying for the hearers; therefore, in reserving even 1 passage, we always request that all who make reservations, whether for “straight” recitation or dramatization, have their passage(s) fully memorized and mastered, at least, 3 weeks in advance of the event. Event organizers might require any & all scheduled reciters to either perform their chapter(s) in advance, upon request, or submit video/audio evidence by the middle of March 2024.

​

Event organizers reserve the right to reassign or reduce chapter recitations in the event of cancellation, due to illness, injury, family tragedy, travel delays, other unforeseen circumstances, or lack of necessary preparation in order to recite satisfactorily and uphold our goals for the event.
