Church Games Get The Ball Rolling With Cross Run

I notice that the Church Games are about to start in the Bahamas (scroll down the page to No 471).

The games officially got underway on Saturday with a Cross Run that is similar to the Commonwealth or the Olympic games torch run where a representative from each of denomination had the opportunity to run with the cross as it made its way around the city before ending at the Sir Kendal Isaacs Gym.

Apart from running with the cross I was wondering what other events should make up the Church Games. Pew hurdling? 100 metre dash up the aisle? Discus with the collection plate? Pole vaulting over the rood screen?

Most of these ideas were Maddie_C’s by the way, but I’m sure you can come up with more in the comments.

    Our (9-11) youthgroup often play games of a comepetetive nature in the church. We have thrown balls made out of screwed up newspaper from the pulpit into the pews – points are awarded according to where they land. Also throwing paper aeroplanes from the balcony aimed for the pulpit is always popular (we did have a plane wedged in the organ pipes for a few months mind – which was slightly distracting in Sunday services)

    How absolutely fascinating.

    Synchronised Baptism?
    Artistic Genuflection? (extra points for large Anglican hats)

    I’d look forward to the Entrance Ceremony when, I’d hope, the various groups come in led by clergy dressed to the nines in their garb, with the church name on a cross carried before them.

    I usually like playing countdown with the hymn numbers.

    I’ll have two from the top and 4 from anywhere else.

    And you’ve got 30 seconds to make 640, you shall go out with joy
