Next Up: DISTRICTS
Last night was the last practice of the year. There are no more assignments for studying. Just keep reviewing John 1-21 for Saturday's final Quiz Meet of the year.
General Reminders:
- We leave the church parking lot at 3:00 PM on Friday. Please arrive earlier to pack the vehicles with your luggage
- A storm is predicted for tonight into Friday. At this point, it looks like just rain for our travel path. So, pack an umbrella or poncho. If the prediction changes for the worse, keep an eye here for any changes in plan.
- Do not forget your Quiz Team shirt (if you have one) for Saturday. If you do NOT have a shirt, bring something blue to wear.
- Don't forget to bring church clothes for Sunday.

It's not Midwinter, but dress warmly for Districts
It looks like a storm is coming in Friday into Saturday of this week. As you pack for Districts, be sure to include warm clothes. We want to wear t-shirts for Saturday, but feel free to bring a sweater or sweatshirt to wear when you're not on the pads. And be sure to bring a warm coat for when we're walking outside!

Hang on!Thursday, March 24, 2011
WEEK 30: Review John 1-21
This week (March 24 thru March 31), please review all chapters of the Gospel of John
If you want to read the book online, click here. (Free website Biblegateway.Com)
Download the MP3: All MP3s from past chapters will be online for 90 days from posting. If there is an MP3 that you need, which is no longer online, please contact the coaches and we can send it to you directly.
Study Tip: This is it. Our next practice is the last practice before Districts and the last chapter of the year.
If you've gotten this far and know your stuff, don't stop now! Spend this next week re-reading the book - especially listening to the MP3s which can give you a good feel for the whole book, even if you listen while doing something else.
If you've reached the end and realize you're weak, now is your last chance to step up your game and get ready. Your best bet at this point is to focus on the last few chapters - John 19, 20, 21. These chapters are also timely for this time of year, being all about the crucifixion, resurrection, and appearances of Jesus. Focus in on this material and be ready. Your work now may make the difference at Districts between going home empty handed, and going home with a trophy.
Upcoming Events:
- April 1-3: EDA Districts Quiz Meet - Lancaster, PA!
