OMMC is very excited to announce that in October 2017 the Eastern District will be hosting the annual

Youth Rally and Quiz Bowl in Tuscarawas County! We are partnering with churches all over the Eastern

District in order to make this happen. Part of this event is the Quiz Bowl - youth will be asked questions based on biblical knowledge, church history and doctrine. We will be putting together a county wide team to

compete. The Quiz Bowl is for Middle School and High School youth.

We look forward to this District event and meeting Moravians from all over! More information will be

available in the coming weeks.
