Midwinter is coming, Midwinter is coming!

What is "Midwinter"? Midwinter Quiz is one two major quiz meets that our program takes part in. It is a weekend of quizzing in Lancaster, PA against all of the teams in the Easter District of the EFCA.

When is it? We'll be leaving the evening of Friday, January 22. We'll quiz all day on Saturday, January 23. We'll attend LEFC on Sunday, January 24 and then return home.

What does it cost? There is a $15 registration fee that covers materials costs plus lunch for both Midwinter and Districts (No, there is no refund if you only attend one of the meets.) Add to that Friday dinner, Saturday dinner, and Sunday lunch (at least $6 each) plus any souvenir money you may wish to bring. And gas money will be collected (amount TBD).

What about housing? Housing will be with quizzing/church families in the Lancaster area. Plan to bring a pillow and sleeping bag.

What chapters does Midwinter cover? All of 1 Corinthians, plus 2 Corinthians 1-2

Is there anything I should be sure to pack? Be sure to only pack a sleeping bag, a pillow, a crushable suitcase, and a carry-on that can fit onto your lap. We don't have much room in the vans. Within those, be sure to bring your quizzing book/Bible and questions, your quiz team uniform for Saturday (or a blue shirt, if you do not have one), a set of church clothes for Sunday service (no jeans! you will be allowed to change for the drive home), and WARM clothes (it isn't called Midwinter for nothing).

Can our families attend? Parents and siblings are welcome to come and watch. However, all costs - meals, house, etc. - will be yours to cover. We will let you know if you can "buy into" the Saturday meal. Families will have to transport themselves there and back as well.
