YUM!! Bake sale for A.B.B.A. (Alyssa’s Bible Bee Adventure)
 
During the month of October, there will be yummy bake sales to help our own, Alyssa Lewis, age 10, attend the National Bible Bee in Washington, D.C. on Nov. 4th – 6th, 2009. You can purchase goodies at the October 15th meeting as well as at Lyceum on Oct. 23rd and 30th .
 
Here’s a little background information regarding the Bible Bee. 17,000 contestants enrolled in the first ever National Bible Bee early this year. The contestants were given, according to their age bracket, between 200 – 350 bible memorization passages to memorize. They are also tested on their bible knowledge including questions from 6 specific books in the bible as well as bonus questions from any of the 66 books in the Bible.
 
On Sept. 12th at local contests, 300 top scorers emerged. Alyssa is one of them! 
 
Alyssa is very excited about the opportunity to participate in the first ever National Bible Bee. However. when asked, what is the best part of the Bible Bee, her reply was “I love the fact that when I’m in a situation, God brings the verses that I’ve memorized to my mind, and then I know what God would have me do.” Praise the Lord!!!
 
 
It is estimated by the Bible Bee Headquarters that approximately $3500 should be raised to cover the expenses for a contestant and a parent. The top 3 contestants in each age group will be awarded with scholarship money.
 
 
Do you have food allergies ? Have no fear, we will also have an assortment of goodies for individuals with gluten, dairy, egg and soy intolerances. So please do drop by the table for some goodies for your family. If you would like to donate some goodies for the bake sales or help out at the tables, please call Jo Lewis at 618-628-1786 or shoot us an email at jlewis5@charter.net by Monday, Oct. 12th. Thank you so much for sowing into the life of our child.
May God richly bless you!
