Shepherd's Game--Thank you!

During the evening of December 9th many children and adults of the congregation gathered to enjoy dinner and the Shepherd’s Game.  About 30 people participated in the event to search for the Christ child.  Following clues, the teams (led by team captains Sharon Smith, Dick Barie, JoAnn Elliott and Audrey Kellogg) searched for the Christ child in the darkened church.  There were innkeepers for the teams to talk to in an attempt to get clues to the Christ child’s location as well as centurians the teams tried to avoid as they had the ability to place team members in “jail”.  The teams got a feel for what it was like for the shepherds who really went in search of the Christ child and the obstacles they had to overcome.  All of the teams had a lot of fun and everyone was able to work together and find the Christ child.  Following the game all of the teams gathered together for a discussion about the game and what we had learned from it.  It was a great night for all!  Many thanks to Mark Barie and Sharah DeMena for all of your work planning this event!
