Good Shepherd’s 2010 Sheep-Seek Event
“Love your neighbor…”
While these words of Jesus enter our ears, we often stick with doing the comfortable stuff. In other words, we feel pretty good about giving $5 to the food shelf.
What would happen if you had a few dollars to give that would actually make a difference in somebody’s life?
This is your chance. There are 5 sheep (toys with tags to identify them) hidden around Glencoe. Your mission is to find them by navigating through 1 of 5 sets of clues. After you find a sheep, you will bring it to Pastor James at Good Shepherd (1407 Cedar Ave N), who will award your prize: $10 gift card to Subway, $10 gift card to Casey’s…and $100 cash.
On your word alone, we are asking that you use the gift cards for yourself…as fuel for your journey to serving others. With the $100 cash, we are asking you to make a difference in somebody else’s life. Perhaps it is paying a bill, buying a few groceries, covering the cost of a meal…do one big thing, or several smaller ones. That’s up to you. We ask, again on your word alone, that you would kindly share your experience with our church – in person, or by letter that will be presented to the congregation of Good Shepherd on April 11, 2010.
Rules:
1) Sheep are hidden in the City of Glencoe
2) You will not need to use tools to uncover or otherwise access the sheep
3) Limit 1 sheep per person (but, if a whole family is involved…that’s okay)
4) Clues will run from Monday, February 22 to Saturday, February 27
a. Clues will be posted here at www.gslcglencoe.org/clues.htm only!
b. Clues will be posted daily at NOON
5) The pastor’s wife does NOT know where the sheep are hidden…don’t even ask her. J
6) Winners will provide contact information to Good Shepherd for the purpose of keeping in touch and following up on the experience of serving & loving a neighbor.
This fun event is one way to promote our mission: “Seeking and Serving the Lost and Hurting.” Thank you for being a part of this with us!
