Parents are free, so if you’d like to come as a chaperon, please let me know. Students and parents must sign up by Sunday, December 30. We’ll need a firm count in order to purchase tickets ahead of time. Students from 2nd Street and North Valley Friends churches will also be joining us.

Bible Quiz Meet Assistance

Posted on by


Newberg Friends is hosting a Bible quiz meet on the weekend of October 20. That means we’ll have more than 200 students, coaches and parents coming to Newberg for the weekend. And we’ll need help. Please let me know if you might be able to help with any of the following:

Housing: 1) Provide floor space for groups of 4-6 (regular group) or 8-12 (large group). Most groups will sleep at your home on Friday and Saturday nights. Most groups have an adult chaperon and are all of the same gender. They will have their own sleeping bags and pillows. 2) Provide breakfast on Saturday and Sunday mornings. 3) Although most groups have their own vehicle, some churches bring lots of groups on a bus. Let me know if you have a vehicle that you are willing to use to help transport a group to your home.

Officiating: We need quizmasters (read the questions in a quiz round) and scorekeepers (keep score in a quiz round). An hour-long training session is provided at the church, starting at 8 a.m., on Saturday, October 20. Quiz rounds end by 4:30 p.m. If you sign up to help as a quiz official, we provide lunch for you (and dinner if you want to stay and join us).

Meals & Kitchen: We provide coffee, a mid-morning snack, lunch, a mid-afternoon snack, and dinner on Saturday, October 20. The food is ordered in, but we need help with setting up and managing the food line, and cleaning up the kitchen. Let me know if you can help for a shift. I’ll need two people from 7:30 to 11 a.m., four people from 11 a.m. to 2 p.m., and four people from 4 to 7 p.m.
