By Delores Hanneman

June 2008

The chapel was once again full of excited children, youth, parents, judges, and a host of friends and family as they gathered at Webster Conference Center, Salina, KS, for the Annual State Children/Youth Bible Drill and Youth Speakers Tournament on Saturday, April 19.  In all, there were over 85 people attending and participating in the event.

The Children’s Bible Drill had 14 participants representing seven churches and five associations.  We had three children with a perfect score, six winners and five participants.  A gold medal with a purple ribbon was presented to the winners with a perfect score and those who were winners received a gold medal with a blue ribbon.

The three Youth Bible Drillers represented two churches and associations.  The three Youth Speakers Tournament represented two churches and associations.

Scholarships were given to the first, second, and third place winners in the youth events.  First place winners received a scholarship of $200.00; second place $100.00; third place $75.00.  The scholarships are intended to provide financial assistance for the young people to attend any youth function sponsored by their church, the association, the state convention, or the Southern Baptist Convention.  The winners of this year’s competition are listed below.

Delores Hanneman, Drill and Tournament Coordinator, led the drill for her first time as the coordinator for KNCSB.  Ten adults from Kansas-Nebraska volunteered their time and expertise to serve as judges, timekeeper, and as the tally committee. 

The 2009 event is scheduled for April 18th.  The 2009 Bible Drill and Speakers’ Tournament materials will be mailed to the churches in August 2008.
