76 Teams Participate in Columbia Union Pathfinder Bible Experience

Story by V. Michelle Bernard

This past Sabbath, 76 Pathfinder Bible Experience (PBE) teams from across the Columbia Union Conference gathered at Takoma Academy in Takoma Park, Md., for Columbia Union’s PBE.

Before the testing portion of the event, Sherilyn O’Ffill, event coordinator, told the participants, “No matter what else happens today, you have already succeeded. You have spent at least two months studying two books, [Romans and 1 Corinthians], of the Bible.”

Thirty-four of these teams placed first and will continue to the North American Division event April 25–26 in Battle Creek, Mich.
