Is it in you?
I went to Multnomah Bible College (MBC) in the late ‘70s. The professors drilled you, and then drilled you again. And then guess what? They drilled you again. It was English Bible upside down, with a reverse lay-out, in full-tuck position, barrel roll and a combination triple lutz, triple axel and triple toe loop.
One of the things I really appreciated about MBC is that you came out knowing your way around the chapters of the Books of the Bible.
OK. Drum roll.
The Sumpters are the host family for the first-annual Bible Bee for Southern Oregon!
Here are the basic facts:
What is the Bible Bee? The National Bible Bee Competition is a series of events designed to help parents encourage diligence in Bible study, Scripture memorization, and prayer in their families. There are two focal points: 1) Bible memorization and Bible knowledge competition held at Local Bible Bees organized by volunteer Hosts and Local Event Teams in various locations throughout the United States, and 2) The National Bible Bee competition for the 300 top-scoring contestants from the Local Bible Bees. Family discipleship is reinforced during the time leading up to these events through planned voluntary social interactions around the Word, memory verse games, and Christian fellowship.
Where are the Bible Bee Contests held? Local Bible Bees will be held in churches, schools, universities, and community centers across the United States on Saturday, August 28th, 2010. The National Bible Bee Contest will take place at the Renaissance Hotel and Conference Center in Schaumburg, Illinois, just outside of Chicago, on November 11-13, 2010.
Who can participate in the Bible Bee? On May 1, 2010, families may begin to register their children and youth who will be 7 to 18 years of age as of November 13, 2010. Contestants will compete in one of three age divisions: Primary (ages 7-10), Junior (11-14) or Senior (15-18).
We're pumped.
