SATURDAY!

Reminder:  Location change.  The quiz this saturday is at Bradley Nazarene. Please be on time (8:15 is when registation opens, with opening meetings starting at 8:45. Remind your quizzers that anyone who can quote 7:14-24 as well as Bonnie will get a fantastic prize during the opening!  Most of you should have gotten an email from Karl.  If you didn't...we're having a baked goods fellowship time (which probably needs a better name).  Please bring some treats and plan to stay a little while.  Here's the details: 

* All teams please bring pies or other baked goods (cookies, cupcakes, etc) to share.  This is totally to SHARE - not as a fund-raiser.  Extra 'brownie points' (pun intended) for seasonal treats - I'm talking about PUMPKIN PIE!!!  But variety is nice, if you want to bring something else.  :)
* When the quiz is all finished - most of us will start 'sharing' with each other.  This will start when the St Louis Top Ten are announced and have to meet on the platform to make plans.  While they meet - the rest of us eat!! :D  But... yes, we will save them some.
* Bradley Church is happy to let us stay and do this.  We will need to make sure we put everything back in order after we're finished though - so plan to stay and help with that as much as needed.
* We'll ask those coaches who do NOT have anyone qualify for St Louis to take a lead role in managing the distribution.  Oh... we'll also need some paper plates, plastic forks, etc (volunteers?).  Oh - and whipped cream!
* As I said - not a fund-raiser.  HOWEVER - if Bradley Church wishes to provide some hot drinks (coffee, tea, hot chocolate, hot apple cider) to go along with the desserts, at a modest price - that would be great!

LOCATION CHANGE

Hey everyone!!

Wanted to make sure everyone knew that the quiz for November 13th has been moved from Manteno to Bradley church of the Nazarene.  The address is 195 N Douglas, Bradley, IL.  As far as I know at this moment (since this is a last minute change) they won't be providing lunch.  If that changes, I'll send out an email. 

A beautiful day!

I know some of you stuck around and enjoyed the beautiful weather playing a little football.  Today was a great day for quizzing!  I'm so proud of everyone on our district.  I hope all of you are enjoying John--its a great book to get to know Jesus.  My prayer for all of you is that beyond all the ribbons and the competition that each of you (quizzer, coach, volunteer) get to know our savior better. 

Thanks for being a part of this amazing ministry! 

IN OTHER IMPORTANT NEWS:  Bonnie has agreed to do a memory challenge for the November Quiz!  If you are a quizzer who has NOT placed in the top 10 at the last 2 quizzes--this challenge is for you:  MEMORIZE JOHN 7:14-24.  See if you can beat Bonnie!  Fabulous prizes!
