MUSICAL INTERLUDE: Day One

PHOTO OF THE WEEK: Illustrated Bible from 1864

VERSE OF THE WEEK: Psalm 37:39

The salvation of the righteous is from the Lord; he is their stronghold in the time of trouble. - Psalm 37:39 (ESV).

So... What's Next?

Districts is over, practices for the year are over, so... what is next for Quiz Team in general and this blog in particular?

Well, we still may have one more year-end event (keep a close eye out for any announcements).

In the meantime, we're going to take a month or so off from Bible Quizzing, per se, and just focus some fun. We'll be posting news related to the Bible, good music, comics, jokes, photos, and other interesting tidbits. As always, this site will be updated every day. Then, starting soon, we'll begin getting ready for the 2015-2016 season, where we'll be studying the Books of Galatians, Ephesians, Philippians, Colossians, and Philemon.

But, for now, let's have some fun!

Bible Knowledge Test for Acts

Our team did quite well on this year's Bible Knowledge Test on the book of Acts (ESV).  But maybe you'd want to retake the test to improve or ask your parents, friends, or siblings to take it!  If so, here is your chance to download the test.

REMINDER: No Practice Tonight!

Remember, practices are over for the season.  There is nothing going on tonight.

SCOREBOARD: DISTRICTS

*Net Points is all right answer points minus all wrong answer lost points.  So someone who got one right (+20) and one wrong (-10) would have 10 “net points.”

Congratulations on Second Place at Districts

Congratulations on your second place finish at Districts.  Practices are over for the season, but we'll be in touch in the late summer on plans for next year.

We leave for Districts tomorrow afternoon.  If you're going to be packing today/tonight, here is a good list to use as you fill your duffle bag.

ABSOLUTELY DO NOT FORGET:

• Either money for dinner Friday at Chipotle or a bag dinner
• Sleeping gear for Friday night (sleeping bag, pillow, etc.)
• Your Quiz Team shirt
• Long Pants for Saturday quizzing (you can change into shorts after quizzing is done)

RECOMMENDATIONS FOR YOUR SUITCASE:

• A warm/rain jacket for Friday night (Low of 45 with rain predicted overnight)
• Study materials including your scripture portion
• Toiletries (warm showers will be available)
• An alarm clock (or multifunction device with an alarm app)

If possible, please pack in a soft suitcase for maximum packing flexibility.

THIS WEEK: Review all Chapters of Acts

This week (April 15 thru April 18), please review all chapters of Acts.

This is it!  Districts is in 3 days where we will quiz on all chapters of Acts.  Please check and make sure you have all the study materials you need.  Every things can be found here:  http://quizpad.blogspot.com/search/label/acts

If you are missing anything that you need, please contact the coaches.

Study Tip: At this late stage, you have two choices to excel:  (1) cram, cram, cram and try to learn as much material as possible in the few days left, or (2) pick something you are good at and focus on that for the next few days.  We generally recommend #2.  Choose one thing and be the expert - FTVs, References, Multiple Part Answers, Short Answers, etc.

Upcoming Events:

- April 17-18 - Districts Quiz Meet in Dallas, PA

REMINDER: Have you decided on Districts?

Remember, Districts is this weekend and the coaches need to know ASAP if you are coming.  If you've not yet made the decision, check with your parents so you can walk thru the door tomorrow with a plan.  Also make sure you have turned in your Health and Event Forms, so that you have all the necessary paperwork to travel!
