Surprise Sack

Mysteries have long been the magic that draws children into exploration. The challenge of the unknown, the excitement at the discovery, the intrigue of the clues. We want to channel that kind of enthusiasm into Spiritual mystery and exploration. KIDS here at Cornerstone are going to begin having their own moments of mystery each Wednesday night starting in January. Each week a "Surprise Sack" will go home with some lucky kid. When they get the sack home they will have a week to decide what mystery item they want to put in the sack. The only rules are: nothing alive or previously alive, nothing toxic, must be rated G, and it must fit in the sack. Then they will bring the sack to Friends/Time on Wednesday night. Then I, or another adult, will reveal the mystery item and share a faith analogy related to that item. Of course the goal is to stump the teacher, put something in the sack that can't be related to faith. Let the challenge begin!!!
So be sure you don't miss your chance to take the Surprise Sack home. Plan to get together with your friends on Wednesday nights for dinner at 6:00 and mystery time to follow.
