January to March 2024 CHALLENGE TOPICS AND SCHEDULE

[RedBaron]

This quarter, we’re going to focus on some of the Parables of Jesus. Each week, you will be given the parable (scripture references will be shared for your convenience). It’s up to you how to approach it. You can do a modern retelling, or an in depth study, etc. Just remember, creativity is one of the scoring categories that can make or break an entry!
