This ran over the winter months and consisted of a Bible Sword drill and a series of questions on different passages of Scripture. I had a small plaque made with the name of our church and contest engraved on it. I had them divide up into 4 teams. Each team had a captain that was responsible for their team studying.

I think newsletters can be a tremendous tool, especially if you are dealing with children or young people. Newsletters work well with just about any group but it’s really satisfying to see a child’s eyes light up as he finds his name in print. I’m a young people’s Sunday school teacher and I’ve been putting out a little newsletter for them for several years now.
