This is a scavenger hunt with a purpose - to invite people to a church that likes to have fun. At the end of each encounter with someone in the community, one member of the group will leave a gift with a person and an invitation to join the church in worship. The gift is a bag of microwavable popcorn with the label, "Pop in and see us sometime. Community Church - where we believe in glorifying AND enjoying God!" Include web address, times of worship, address, and the name and phone number of the pastor.
· Fill
out the Team Card in your bag and turn in before leaving. Include:
o
Team name
o
Name of each member of the team
o
The cell phone number you will be using when you call in
· Each
team member contributes $5.00 to the common $$$$ bag. This money will be used
for all purchases. Put one team member in charge of the cash. Bring back the
change.
· It’s
best to start your explanation with: “Hi, we’re on a Scavenger Hunt with our Church Group, could
you/would you….” Including non-members
in your search is a great outreach! Give each person you encounter a Thank you
card (provided.) Put one team member in charge of this task.

team must stay together at all times. No
splitting up!

travel within a 5-mile radius of the church.

task must be done with a different person/stranger--you can't do 2 things at
one person's house or with one person.

one-and-a-half hours to complete as many tasks as you can. Notice some have
higher point values than others.
