Junior Section Bible Quiz

The Junior Section Bible Quiz will be held on Friday 27th March 2009 at Priory Methodist Church, Bedford, starting at 7.30 pm.

Rules

Each company can enter any number of teams consisting of three junior boys, no more than one of whom may be a third year, who will compete for the Battalion Bible Quiz Trophy. The highest scoring team will count towards the Champions' Cup. Once again local Girls Brigade companies have also been invited to enter teams but obviously they will not be competing for the Battalion Trophy.

The quiz will include a general Bible knowledge round, a round based on books of the Bible and spelling and a number of rounds on the theme "The Easter Story" based on the passages shown below. Let me emphasise that the questions will all be set using the GOOD NEWS translation. It is a team quiz and all the teams will have the same questions and be required to appoint a scribe who can record their agreed answer.

Bible passages on the theme "Elijah"

• 1 Kings 17: 1-7 - Elijah and the drought
• 1 Kings 17: 8-24 - Elijah and the widow in Zarephath
• 1 Kings 18: 1-40 - Elijah and the prophets of Baal
• 1 Kings 18: 41-46 - The end of the drought
• 1 Kings 19: 1-18 - Elijah on Mount Sinai
• 1 Kings 19: 19-21 - The call of Elisha

Would all companies please confirm their attendance and the number of teams they are entering OR OTHERWISE to Amos Salisbury by 22nd March.

Thanks to Amos Salisbury for organising the competition and to 3rd Bedford for hosting the event.
