The Bible Challenge was a tie.  I'll let you know the date of the party.

   Our boxes being sent to Tsultrim for his birthday will be going out this week because we finally got most everything we needed.  We are sending:  2 dinosaur puzzles, 178 pencils, 6 decks of cards, 2 baseballs, 2 footballs, golf balls, 7 toothbrushes, 2 pkgs of markers, 2 tubes toothpaste, 1 Frisbee, 2 pkg colored pencils, 50 pencil sharpeners, 25 rules, 5 pairs of jeans, 9 shirts, 1 flashlight, 2 note pads, batteries, 4 notebooks, 3 pkg of notebook paper and a bottle of body wash (which I put a note about in it for him).  Thanks to all of you who have contributed things to send to Tsultrim.  Hopefully, he'll get them in a couple of months and will have a great time going through the boxes.  We will be sending him a letter next week, signed by the kids, to tell him to expect the boxes.

   We set a record for Bible bookmarks returned.  We had 9 returned on one Sunday!!!!  I was so proud of all of you who brought your Bible bookmarks back.  That means a lot of Bible reading is being done.  Keep up the good work.

Katherine Jones, I want to thank you so much for my special birthday card.  It was so sweet of you to take the time to bring it to church camp for me.
