DECEMBER CHANGE!!

Posted 20 Nov, 2011 12:38 PM by Ron

It's thanksgiving week, and only 2 weeks until our next district Quiz. I am making an important schedule change, and hope that everyone gets it! Please confirm that your church got this information. I am also posting the change on ccdquiz.org Ready: HERE IT IS: THE DECEMBER 3 QUIZ will ONLY be over chapters 11-12. After very careful consideration, we realized the following. The quiz is a week earlier than normal, thanksgiving is in the middle, and chapters 11 and 12 are both pretty long. (they have more verses than 1-4 in total). So, in an effort to keep everyone successful in their study, and not rush or half study a chapter--we are ONLY quizzing over 11 and 12.THERE IS a TON of really great stuff in 11 and 12, so I really don't want anyone to rush through it.  The ENTIRE history of our faith is available to us--something to be thankful for!  What an awesome story!

That means the January Quiz will be over 3 chapters (Hebrews 13, 1 Peter 1 and 2). There are almost six full weeks (but of course christmas and new years) between the December quiz and January Quiz, so hopefully this won't be too tough for anyone.

After having said all of that: Ron Marklund will be in charge of the December quiz as Scott and I will be in St. Louis. We will still be helping recruit officials, set up schedules, etc. The quiz will be in gilman. It will be fun. So, if you're able to officiate or have equipment--please let me know. I'm also opening registration this afternoon.

The final bit of information: budgets for Q2012 July 2-7 have been approved and we will have information to pass out hopefully in December. Since Olivet is the host location, I hope several of you will encourage your quizzers to attend. They can quiz as a local team, or participate on a district team, and we will mix everyone up according to their abilty. They offer both experienced and novice level quizzing at both the local and district level. It is a ton of fun. We want to have a strong showing since we're the host district and region! Start talking about it now. Cost should be under $200 and includes lodging and meals for the entire week.
