The Biblical Quiz – A day of searching… and sharing the excitement together
On Saturday, January 31, phones rang, Bibles were opened, teams debated… and once again, the Biblical Enigma Afternoon brought together all generations around a single challenge.
In some rooms, a verse was read for the third time. In others, people searched for a detail that seemed almost invisible. And everywhere, there was the same desire: to understand, to find, to move forward together.
This year, the adventure took us into the book of Daniel. Twelve well-known chapters, studied, sometimes even memorized. But this time seen from a different angle, questioned and dissected to extract clues. Throughout the afternoon, phone calls followed one another. Sometimes with the joy of having found the answer. Sometimes with a bit of frustration when the answer was not correct and it was necessary to search again, reread, and think differently.
And then there is that special moment. The moment when the final enigma is understood. Even without finishing first, there is that deep satisfaction: we succeeded.
A special mention goes to the Aventurers: out of the 10 teams engaged in the challenge, all of them succeeded in solving the enigma. A wonderful sign of motivation, perseverance, and commitment.

Thank you all. Congratulations to every participant, every team, and every church involved in this adventure. A special thank-you to Valérie and Jackie, who were at the heart of the day, answering the phone both in moments of success and in those when it was time to go back and search again.
Thanks to all of you, this day was far more than a challenge.
It was a moment lived together.
