The Mayhem

Midnight Mayhem
March 07

It ended up being a great success; we had 15 Lutheran churches attending, and 120 people were “locked out” together. The evening began at Central Lutheran, where there was pizza, games and Tangled Blue. We then headed to Lilac Lanes for two hours of bowling and then onto Wonderland for three hours of arcade games, mini-golf and laser tag. We finished the night off with breakfast in St.Lukes Lutheran. It was great to see so many churches coming together, especially for the small churches that only have a couple of teenagers in their church.

It really does beg the question, what do we do next?
