communicationsordinator Kevin Sparkman states.
We will begin announcing how tosign up and form teams, how
to
access the study material based onthe prospective questions, and
lay
the general ground rules for theevent.
Details are still being finalized for thequiz bowl. It has yet
to be determinedif the bowl will be in a tournamentformat that will
span multiple daysand events, or if it will be just a one-day
contest.
To ensure that this is a community-wide experience, one of
theproposed rules is to have at least oneperson from each team be
someonethat is not a McKendree Church
member or someone not activelengaged in our church commun
The intention behind the quiz boto provide an opportunity to
