1-01-03 Best in West Wins WBQA Finals

Welcome to our annual newsletter. Last June seems like a distant memory, but we have not forgotten the achievements of all who attended World Finals at Grace College. What a great time of ministry, fellowship and fun! Special thanks to Bernie Elliot and Andy Dalrymple for their wonderful messages through speaking and music respectively. Quizzing was excellent! Congratulations to our championship teams: Best in the West, Varsity (Jeff Faville, Andrew Yoder, Caleb Kohl, David Ballif, Justin Flowers); Pittsburgh 3, JV (Cara Rozgonyi, Karisa Johnson, Halie Theriault, Kara Sharp); and Canton Youthquake, KJV (Lindsey Burnworth, Sean Trevino). Jeff Faville was presented with the Larimore Award for excellence in leadership, quizzing and Christian testimony. If you missed it, be sure to make plans to attend this summer, once again at Grace College in Winona Lake, IN. This year's WBQA Finals are June 25 - 29. All details are posted online.
