Out first quiz meet is one week from today (September 22). For some of you it will be your first time, so here are the details you need to know!
WHERE ARE WE GOING?
We will be going to Calvary Church in Essex Fells, NJ.
WHAT TIME DO WE LEAVE?
We will be leaving at 7 AM sharp. Please plan to get to the church at least 10 minutes before that, so we can load up the vans and arrange who goes where.
WHAT CHAPTERS ARE WE QUIZZING ON?
This first one will be short. We're quizzing on only Galatians 1 and 2.
ARE WE DOING ANYTHING ELSE?
Yes. Afterwards, we are going into New York (probably to South Street Seaport) for a couple of hours of sightseeing. We'll be taking the train into the city.
WHAT DO I NEED TO BRING?
You are also encouraged to bring your scripture portion for studying in the van and/or before quizzes. (Please be aware that Bibles MUST BE CLOSED during a quiz, even if you are not on the pads at the time.)
Also, please bring $5 for gasoline, $4 for pizza for lunch, $2 for the train, and at least $6 for dinner. $20 to $25 should cover the basics. More if you want souvenirs.
WHAT TIME DO WE GET BACK?
We'll be back between 7 PM and 9 PM, depending on traffic. We usually ask anyone with a cell phone to call their parents when we cross from NY into CT on the way home.
DO I NEED A QUIZ TEAM T-SHIRT?
Quizzers who have Quiz Team T-Shirts are encouraged to wear them. Those without are encouraged to wear a grey t-shirt or sweatshirt so that we look like a team.
CAN I BRING ELECTRONICS?
Appropriate portable electronics (iPod, Gameboy, Cell Phone, etc.) are welcome in the vans, but should not be used in the church. The idea is to provide a way to make the ride go quickly, not to distract from quizzing. If you want to have a chance for your music to be played in the van, please make sure it is Christian music. We don't care about the style, but we do care about the lyrics and intent.
