Our church was well represented! We began the day by watching our Bible Tic-Tac-Toe team. Bible Tic-Tac-Toe is a team competition for grades 7-9. The teams learn 500 Bible facts and quotes and study specific books of the Bible. They are then asked questions from their Bible facts and books of the Bible. During each turn, they get to pick a square in a game of tic-tac-toe. If they answer the question correctly, they win that square and the game continues until one team wins the board. Bible Tic-Tac-Toe usually plays for the best 2 out of 3 games.
Today, our team came in 2nd place and will get to go to Nationals in July to represent our church. They are a first year team and did a great job!
After Bible Tic-Tac-Toe, the music competition began. Sulphur Springs had three students representing us in the music competition: Marisa Ballard, Joseph Summerlin and Jacob Summerlin.
Marisa competed in the female vocal solo for grades 10-12. This is her first year to compete as well, and she placed first and will also represent us at Nationals.
Joseph competed in the piano competition for grades 7-9. He has competed for us at the state and national levels before, and as always, did an excellent job. He won first place and will represent us at Nationals in July.
Jacob competed in the piano competition for grades 1-3 and in the percussion competition for grades 1-3. He did well in both competitions and will go to Nationals to represent us in the percussion competition.
Our last team to compete was the Bible Millionaire team. Bible Millionaire is a team competition for grades 4-6. Each team must study their weekly Sunday School lessons, specific Bible Memorization material and a specific book of the Bible. At competition, they are asked multiple choice questions from that material. (The game is set up like "Who Wants to be a Millionaire.") The teams all compete at the same time and at the end of the game, the team with the most correct answers wins.
Our Bible Millionaire team is a first year team and we really weren't sure what to expect, but they did a great job and came in first place! However, we will not be able to attend the national competition and forfeited our title so that the other two participating teams could advance to Nationals.
This year's competition was great - we had a lot of churches and students participate in all categories. Please pray for these young people as they prepare to compete at the national level.
