2018 Red Cycle for children in grades 3-6
PURPOSE
The purpose of Mississippi Baptist’s Children’s Bible Drill is to help children develop
skills in the use of the Bible, increase their knowledge of God’s Word, help them learn
the scriptures by heart, and apply the Bible to their lives.
Who Can Participate?
All children who are classified by their church as third, fourth, fifth, and sixth graders
are eligible to participate in Children’s Bible Drill.
A method of participation can be worked out for handicapped children to fit their
individual needs. The method to be used with handicapped children should be the
same for all three levels of drills. It will be the responsibility of the child’s adult leader
or parent to discuss drill procedure with both the person at the registration desk and
the caller in the drill room before the drill begins.
