Mystery Dinner

We hosted the boys' church youth group this past Friday night for a Mystery Dinner. (S.W.A.T. is the name of their youth group. It stands for Service-Worship-Action-Teaching).

The menu consisted of 16 items and four courses. Each item had a strange name, so the kids never knew exactly what they were ordering. Examples include: "Nature's Tears" for water, "High Riser" for bread roll, "Freezing Girl Scout" for brownies and ice cream, "Cloudy with a Chance" for meatballs, etc. Forks, spoons, and napkin were also included on the menu. Here are the kids making their choices.

We had to keep the food choices a secret and the food prep area hidden so that they didn't have any clues about what the food could be. We also used different colored plates for each course to help keep track of what course each kid was on.

Curtis ended up with a brownie and ice cream only he hadn't ordered his spoon or a fork yet.

So he had to get creative.

There were some funny combinations.

After dinner, the kids made cards for members of our church who are on our prayer list. All twelve kids signed the cards and Andy will deliver them when he goes to visit each of those members.

And judging by all of the noise and laughter, it seems like all of the kids had a fun time.
