The Academy for Faith and Life-sponsored trivia night last January was great success. Now it’s time for a rematch for those who were there--and opportunity to join in the fun for those who weren’t. Come test your wits at another trivia night!
Join us for a night of pizza, beer, music, and Bible trivia on Wednesday, May 29 from 6:30 to 9:00 p.m. in Anderson Hall. All are invited to bring a team or form one there; teams can be any size. All are welcome.
So we can make sure to have enough food, RSVP online or to Ryan Loeckel (312.640.2570). If you plan to form a team ahead of time, please provide the names of your team members and your team name when you RSVP.
Child care will be provided. If child care is needed, please provide the age of your child when you RSVP.
A $10 donation will be accepted at the door and goes to support Chicago Lights.
