"But grow in the grace and knowledge of our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ. To him be the glory both now and forever! Amen."
The November 18 – 19 quiz meet has a home! It will be at West Meadows Baptist at 9333 – 199 St, Edmonton. 199 is one block west of and parallel to Anthony Henday, just north of 87 Ave. With significant construction in that area, we will give recommended directions closer to the meet.
Thanks to everyone for praying for a solution to our facilities needs.

biblequizstats.org/internationals is now live and “focuses on providing information regarding team and individual performances at Internationals so that friends and family can follow at home and results can be calculated quickly onsite. Data is entered into the system as soon as scoresheets are turned into the stats room and uploaded via wireless to the server, so the information posted here is as timely as possible.”
Use the site to keep track of the Western Canada team all week and get a glimpse of how to pray for them.
Our 2011 Western Canada international team has arrived in the U.S. safely, and is spending some time today sight-seeing in Baltimore before the competition begins.
This year, the team has been given (temporary) control of the Alberta C&MA Bible Quizzing page on Facebook. Breanna and others have been posting a ton of photos, some status updates and one blog-style update…
Currently we are sitting in our hotel rooms waiting for the “Pizza Dude” to deliver our midnight snacks. Our long day of traveling was successful and West Can. is now safe in Baltimore, Maryland. That’s right; we have landed on US soil, which is extremely exciting for first time visitors: Doris, Ben, and Luke. Read the Rest

Have a great summer, everyone! Keep praying for our international team, for whom studying has just begun.
From the kids (6 kids from various churches):
A man named Nicodemus
Went one night to meet Jesus.
If he’s born again
And we do the same,
God won’t be surprised to see us!
From “Ellergate” (Shane C., Tim B., Amy N., Nathan P., Zack S.):
There once was a lady named Mary
To Jesus her worry she’d carry.
“Lord, had you been near,
My brother’d be here.”
Such was the trouble of Mary.
From Edson (Petra, Christa-Lee, Stephanie, Kaila):
There once was a thief who crept in
Over the wall of the pen.
He whistled and howled
And called very loud
But those sheep would not listen to him.
From Ellerslie (Kristi B., Emily K., Marie K., Sommer M.):
There once was a man whom God sent
Who taught the whole world to repent.
He suffered great loss
And died on the cross.
His own life for me then was spent.
Word has it that our Great West quizzers and coaches successfully braved the weather and so-called roads to return from another enjoyable Great West tournament. For stats-watchers, our stats page has been updated with the latest numbers.
First-place quizzer Adrienna was kind enough to send in some photos, now found in our image gallery. If you have more pictures, please send them along to Paul.
