We kicked off the Amazing Race through the Bible today! Teams were formed, challenges were issued and colors were assigned. (Don’t worry if you were out today; we’ll sign you up next week or whenever you are back in worship.)
This summer series is about the journey we each make through life and is a reminder to us that the Bible is there as our guide.
Our competition is divided into three areas. First, there is a weekly take home family challenge. This challenge will ask 5 questions based upon Pastor Susan’s scripture assignments and will provide the opportunity to earn miles for your team.
There is also a bonus challenge that you may choose to complete during the week. You must bring back the take home challenge to earn miles. Look for the special Amazing Race receptacle to deposit your papers! (Thank you Mike Dumey for your creative carpentry!)
We will also have weekly Roadblocks at the beginning of worship. These will be brief and biblical competitions between one member from each team. These, too, will earn your team miles! And of course, you may earn miles by your attendance. At the end of this exciting summer series, the team who has won the most miles will be guests at a special luau!
We hope you will have fun with this series and that you will plan to attend as often as possible. Hebrews 12: 1-2 tells us that the bible compares the Christian life to a competitive race with a route and itinerary that is already laid out for us by God himself. When you think about it, this totally makes sense. Each and every day we can find clues in His word and through prayer that tell us where to go next.
Good luck and see you Sunday!
The Worship Team
