So, last year after the first quiz--we played 4-square and hung out in the parking lot--everyone want to plan to do that again? 

In other news: JOLIET IS PLANNING TO SERVE LUNCH.  :)

Rookie quizzers still have time to FACE OFF against Christina Fischer by quoting John 1:1-14.  Fabulous prizes for those who can do it!

Friendly reminder: registration closes at noon thursday.  after that you have to call me to register your team.

Well, I hope that all of you who were able to attend enjoyed all the fun at Quizmania.  I know that it'll take me a LONG time to forget Scott and Jeremy's battle in MINUTE TO WIN IT!!  And the group that quizzed over chapter 2--the finals coming down to question 20!  Awesome! I've added the pictures and we'll try to have some stats available shortly.   I hope that it got everybody into quiz mode, and you're excited to start this year.  For those of you who couldn't be there, I hope to see you in September, as we dive in to the gospel of John, learn who Jesus is, and have several more terrific times together this season. 

September 11 will be our first official quiz over John 1-3.  We will be meeting at Joliet 1st at 8:30 for registration, with quizzing starting promptly at 9 am.  The cost is $3 per quizzer and you need to register online by NOON September 9th.  If you are new to online registration, please email me and i'll do my best to get you all set up. 

See you soon, and remember, Jesus came to be in your situation.
