We are in Week 2 of the Challenge and it is NEVER to late to join in.
FAQs
Who is it for?
This challenge is primarily for kids in Grades 1-6 but we’re allowing a little stretch on either side if someone wants to participate!
What is it?
A way to engage with the Bible, read it, consume it, and fall in love with God’s Word. Using a workbook to guide them through the weekly challenges, participants read, interact and memorize scripture accumulating points along the way.
Are there prizes?
You bet there are. Grand prizes will be announced in week 4 (it will be something that the whole family can enjoy)!! Along the way, we’ll be giving out a few other surprises to encourage everyone to keep on ‘eating’!!
Does my child need a workbook to participate?
I’ll be posting the weekly challenge in the WCV Parents Round Table Facebook Group, if you aren’t there you can join us by using THIS LINK.
However, ALL the extra challenges AND super challenges AND the rules are all posted in there, so yeah, you kinda do need a workbook. You can request one by emailing the church at hello@wcvchurch.ca or lani@wcvchurch.ca.
How do we keep track of points?
The kids have gone home with a ‘scoresheet’ to keep track of what they’ve done that week. This week we’ll hand out the whole set for all the weeks. Every week they can hand that in AS WELL AS keeping track in their workbook. Parents, you need to initial each completed challenge. We’re going with the honor system, please help your child out with keeping an honest record.
At the end of the challenge, everyone will hand in their workbook, we’ll double-check the points and hand out the prizes.
Why is it called Eat This Book?
In Ezekiel chapter 3, God interacts with the prophet telling him to, ‘Eat this scroll!’ When the prophet had done that and found it sweet like honey and filled his belly, the Lord said, ‘Now go and speak.’ We currently don’t use scrolls, so the nearest equivalent is book. Our prayer is that WCV kids will ‘eat the book’ find it sweet and fulfilling and speak about what they’ve consumed.
Any other questions – don’t hesitate to ask!
