Piney Grove, Mt. Olive teams win in Bible Bowl
The Forsyth County Sunday School Union held its annual Youth Bible Bowl Competition on Sunday, May 20, at the Shiloh Baptist church. This annual event is designed to promote Bible study, teamwork principles and character development. Each team had to answer questions from the Bible in a round robin competition.
The competition is divided into two divisions, teen (13-18) and youth (12 and under). The winning team in the teen division was Piney Grove Baptist Church, Dr. James Linville, pastor. The winning team for the youth division was Mt. Olive Baptist Church, Dr. Charles E. Gray, pastor.
Each team won $100 and received certificates and medallions for their accomplishment. The Bible Bowl director is Marcus Neal and the president of the Forsyth County Sunday School Union is Catherine Crawford.
This is one of several initiatives that this organization presents throughout the year to target youth participation and involvement. The Forsyth County Sunday School Union is a nonprofit organization whose objective is to offer support, direction and guidance to Sunday school and Christian Education programs.
