In the spring of 2021, one crazy host started praying for 100 participants. God gave us 99 participants in our Hopewell Bee...our largest group ever! What an amazing thing to watch 99 kids choose to spend their summers studying and memorizing God's word. God be praised!

Below are just a few highlights from our summer, from our May Kick-Off Party to our study meetings, ending with Proclaim Day in August (where each participant has an opportunity to publicly recite God's Word) and a rockin' Celebration Sunday!

2018 was an exciting year of competition for the Hopewell Bible Bee. After an amazing and fruitful summer study in the book of James, we were blessed to have 13 national qualifiers!! 

God was glorified during our national season. Two of our Junior competitors went on to compete in the Junior Finals competition and two of our qualifiers received the Perfect Oral Recitation Award and recited onstage at Nationals!! It was an amazing year. Here are just a few of the highlights. 
Unfortunately, it did not occur to us to photograph our summer season, so our highlights will only cover the nationals season for 2018. We'll do better this year!

On Celebration Sunday we announced our 13 national qualifiers. We also celebrated with Titus Alexander that he had placed 1st in the nation in the Junior Division!!

After a fun summer studying together, we decided to continue a study group for the national competition. This was the last night of group study, just one week before leaving for Texas.

These boys could always be counted on for a little comic relief

Hannah and Titus both moved past semi-finals to compete in the Junior Finals. We were so proud of them and exceedingly blessed to see God's grace working in them as they accepted their honors with humility and grace, giving all glory to God. Hannah placed fourth in the nation and Titus finished in third place. It was a wonderful conclusion to an amazing Bible Bee year!

Of course, no Bible Bee season could be complete with out the annual hymn sing. Here we all are gathered in the lobby of a hotel where we sang, played games and talked until 2:00-3:00 in the morning. Then it was tearful goodbyes as we parted ways, already anticipating another year.
