Last Friday was our Kick-Off! Meeting, most of our contestants were able to attend. We had fun practicing Week One verses with several games.
Two friends came and helped. The Moms also pitched in and helped with some of the games.
We also went through the Family Box to explain the materials. And we challenged the kids to a contest within our Local Bible Bee of saying their verse(s) when learned to a Verifier. They were given a Verse List Chart on color coordinated paper with Verifier Instrucitons. Here are our Verifier Instructions:
Verifier Instructions

Now unto him that is able to do exceeding abundantly above all that we ask or think, according to the power that worketh in us, unto him be the glory in the church by Christ Jesus throughout all ages, world without end. Amen.
Ephesians 3:17-20
