Italian Night, a great theme event
One of the things JoAnne and I will miss from Community Wesleyan is the themed fellowship dinners. Over the years we have attended many of them from Valentine Dinners with intimate settings for two to grand senior buffets with all kinds of themes. Last Saturdays’ Italian night was a bunch of fun, not just in my opinion, but from the reports of many who have commented on it to my wife and me both privately and publicly.
Bible Trivia contests were fascinating
The occasion was the long delayed wrap-up of the Big Bible Bonanza emphasis we had in the late fall. The two teams – the Goldfish under the leadership of Rhett LaForte and the Blue Angels rallying behind Mark Boswell — battled for points that could only be earned by consistent daily Bible reading. Bonuses went to those who did not miss a day and to teams with more than sixty percent not missing a day. After many weeks, the Goldfish prevailed. So the Blue Angels had to prepare the dinner, while the Goldfish picked the menu. To keep with the Bible knowledge goal, at the dinner, we played Bible trivia in three ways. Two games were written quizzes. One was a paragraph containing hidden names of Bible books. Several people found all sixteen. The second was a matching test. Again, a few whizzes aced it. The final trivia contest was a live rematch between the two teams. Pastor Kelvin emceed the game and the Blue Angels won by just one question.
Thanks to the organizers and artists
Thanks go to JoAnne Jones who thought up the Big Bible Bonanza emphasis to encourage daily Bible reading and who also planned the Italian feast. Thanks also to Lea Harrington and Keely Stater who lent art work and to Lea for decorating so beautifully. The artwork was so elegantly set as you can see in the pictures. Thank you to all who cooked and all who helped make this fine event happen.
