WEEKLY COMIC: Overdoing It

GETTING READY: Recruiting for Next Year

We had a great team this year!  Everyone contributed with knowledge, skill, leadership, and good humor.  We're hoping each and every one of you are back next year.  But that doesn't mean we don't want to expand the team!

Over the summer, look around for potential new recruits for the 2013-2014 Bible Quiz Team.  The requirements include:

• A willingness to study the books, reading the chapter for the week at least twice every day.
• The ability to come to practices during the Sunday School hour.
• The interest in coming to the Quiz Meets approximately once a month.

That's it!  There is no requirement that they be church members or even that their parents attend the church.  We'll have a kickoff in the early Fall if they are interested, but they can feel free to talk to the coaches any Sunday or thru e-mail.

If you know anyone who's interested, here is our promo:

MUSICAL INTERLUDE: Light of the World

DID YOU KNOW: How long did it take to write the Bible?

"DID YOU KNOW?" will be a summer series where we review issues of the Bible and the Christian faith of special interest. If you have a suggestion/question that you'd like addressed in a "DID YOU KNOW?" segment, please e-mail the coaches.

How long did it take to write the whole Bible?

It was written over a period of some 1,500 years, from around 1450 B.C. (the time of Moses) to about 100 A.D. (following the death and resurrection of Jesus Christ)

HUMOR: Breakable

Not mine.  From here.

There was a very gracious lady who was mailing an old family Bible to her brother in another part of the country. 

“Is there anything breakable in here?” asked the postal clerk. 

“Only the Ten Commandments”, answered the lady.

BIBLE NEWS: "Bible Quiz" - The Movie

We've done our share of movie-making for Bible Quizzing over the years, but we've never tried to make a full-blown documentary about the ministry.  But now, it looks like a former Bible Quizzer has taken the time to film and tell a story around our unique way of learning the Bible.  They use a slightly different system from ours, but the basics of competition are the same.
