Mr. Jeff, Where have you been?

Wow, I can finally take a breath. I have been meaning to share about what all is going on, but once an event ends, it has been time to start on the next one. So here is an overview of what all has been going on the past month and other events to mark on your calendar.
AWANA Bible Quiz
    On Friday, February 26th, the T & T team (3rd to 6th grade) had their annual Bible Quiz. This year, there were 12 children from the CBF AWANA group who were divided into 4 different teams depending on which book they are currently in. There were 8 other churches from the DFW area that competed at Countryside Bible Church in Southlake. Bible Quizzing consists of 3 parts. The first is a written test where each team member answers questions, and the 2 highest scores are added to the team score. Part 2 and Part 3 are a competition between the teams at their respective level. The first part includes multiple choice questions, and the second part consists of speed drills where the team that buzzes in first has the opportunity to answer the question.    
    The team members spent several weeks preparing for the competition, and they all did an incredible job! There were two teams that placed in the quiz. The Book 4 team of Caleb Brown, Kaleb Gabbert, Jenna West and Emily Holland finished in fourth place. The Book 3 team of Madeline Osigian and Anni Williams finished in second place. Madeline Osigian and Anni Williams both received the Highest Honor Award. All the participants had a great time and are looking forward to next year!
Family Movie & Pajama Night- The Sequel
    The following Friday was the Family Movie & Pajama Night- The Sequel and it was awesome! Families came in fun, silly, and crazy pajamas to watch Toy Story. There were over 80 people crammed into the Summit with lots of popcorn and lemonade! Parents were also given a short devotional to do with their children over the weekend. Due to the size though, this event will be moved into the Worship Center. We look forward to seeing you at the next one.
Bible Clubs @ Golden Triangle (Spring Broke)
    Last week the youth at the church sacrificed a portion of their Spring Break to lead Bible Clubs over at the Golden Triangle Community. Each day they would play games, eat lunch, sing songs, do crafts, and youth would share stories and the gospel with the children. It was an incredible time watching the youth put their faith into practice and be pushed out of their comfort zone. There were about 50 kids who came out last week and heard the gospel. Also, the Witty, Fineout, Odom and Beless Life Groups provided lunch during the week. What an amazing witness of seeing the church body unite together to reach out to the Golden Triangle Community. If you want to hear more about how this week went, please talk to one of the youth who helped out.
Upcoming Events (Mark your calendar for these events next week!)

Route 56 Olympics (THIS Tuesday, March 30)
    If you are in 5th or 6th grade, you do not want to miss out on the physical, mental, emotional and crazy challenge THIS Tuesday night from 6 to 8:30 p.m. Cost is $5 for pizza, and parents, you are invited to come help out!
Easter Egg Hunt (Easter Sunday @ 9 a.m.)    
Children from birth to 3rd grade are invited out next Sunday at 9 a.m. for an Easter Egg Hunt. Over 500 Easter Eggs have been lost on the CBF front lawn, and we need your child’s help finding them all. Bring your neighbors along and invite them to stay for the Easter Celebration Service. All you need to bring is an Easter Basket or something to put your eggs in. For safety reasons, there will be 2 different Easter Egg hunting areas so that the preschoolers do not get run over by the elementary children.
