Outreach Bingo
Feeling housebound? Banish cabin fever by joining us for Outreach Bingo on Wednesday, May 13 at 6:00 p.m.! This exciting game combines community outreach with a fun photo scavenger hunt--all carried out via your car. At 6:00 p.m., you'll pull into the Greenmonte parking to receive your Bingo card and game instructions. While there, you can honk and wave at all your Greenmonte buddies. Then the vehicles will scatter and work independently to complete their challenges. Prizes will be awarded for teams who fill the most squares on their Bingo cards. We'll show off the photos and announce the winners during Church Online May 17. It's an event all ages will enjoy, so gather your "Quaran-team" and sign up today! Click here to sign up.
