BIBLE QUEST – EVERY MONTH - FEW SUGGESTIONS
 You have one month to prepare for every BQ. Start preparing today itself.
 BQ children participants - encourage your parents to take part in BQ and parent participants -
encourage your children to participate in the future BQs.
 The BQ questions are set from the RSV version of the Bible. There may be slight differences
in wordings etc. in various versions of the Bibles, though the message they convey is same.
 Do not forget/make mistake while writing your SHC no. on your BQ answer sheet. To
encourage better participation, at the end of the year, prizes are being given to the most regular
individual BQ participants, and zones for the highest participation during the year.
 All books of the Bible (ie all BQs) may not be equally easy or equally interested. Yet do not
miss even a single BQ. To cover as many books of both OT and NT, the BQ is held alternate
months in NT and OT. Perhaps you must have observed this.
 Your result will be put up on the Notice board within a week and the prizes will be given
during the 8 am children’s mass. Keep reading the church notice board for BQ and other
interesting news.
 Finally, even if you do not win BQ, you will be a winner in life by regularly reading the word
of God.
