Study Tip: For Bible Quizzing, we recommend at a minimum that quizzers read the chapter at least twice each day. This provides a good foundation for studying as the quizzer becomes familiar with the material. It is often good to make this a first-thing-in-the-morning, and a last-thing-at-night event, as that lodges the material in the brain for the subconscious to work on it during your day and overnight.

Upcoming Events:
- September 16 - Practices begin
- September 22 - Quiz Meet in Trumbull, CT

The Kickoff is *TODAY*

The Kickoff Meeting is immediately after church in the Youth Room TODAY, for teens and parents interested in the Bible Quiz Team.  See you soon.

REMINDER: Kickoff is *THIS* Sunday!

The kickoff for the Bible Quiz Team is this Sunday, 8/26 right after the church service.  We'll be in the Youth Room, and are looking forward to meeting all of you and talking about Bible Quizzing.  There will be snacks, and giveaways to any teens attending who want to join the team.

See you then!
