Trivia Night

This weekend we held our 3rd annual Trivia Night Fundraiser.  This fundraiser helps raise money for Chaplaincy in the schools.  There is a Chaplain in each school and they are like counselors for the students.  From our understanding (we'll need an Australian to correct us), they aren't allowed to talk about God with the students unless the students bring it up.  They play a really important role in the lives of the students.  We just finished adding up all the money and the night raised a little over $1600!    

A trivia night is exactly what it sounds like!  A night where people come and play trivia!  The night starts off with delicious soups.  About 6-8 people from the church make very yummy soups.  Then after everyone has finished eating and everything settles down, we start the first round of trivia.  Everyone from the table works together to try to answer all the questions in 10 minutes.  There are 4 rounds total.  In between each round there are games for kids and other trivia that you can do to earn prizes.  Later on in the evening we have delicious desserts.  

We had about 100 people show up for the night and we had a great time!  Sean won a prize for winning the "google question."  For this one they give you a question that you have to look up on your phone or ipod, then you have to text the answer.  Sean was the speediest. There were lots of other prizes that were donated by local businesses.  It was a great night of fellowship and fun :)      

The whole gang
