When I heard about the first FBC Game Night in February, I thought to myself, "Do I want to go?" I kept thinking about it and talked to Joe and we decided, "Yes, we'll try it."
At first we thought it was probably just for families with children but we decided that it would be a great time for us older folks without children to intermingle. We called two other couples (who weren't planning on going). They like to play Mexican Train Dominoes so we invited them to come. We took our dominoes and set up a table and had a great game. In fact, we all had a great time.
There were lots of things going on for the children and for young people, too: games to play on TVs that were set up [Wii Sports] and various games at tables. We all took snacks and had a great variety of fun things to eat.
All in all we think it was a great opportunity to get to know some people that aren't in our age group and have a fun time--second only to the church picnic. We are looking forward to the next FBC Game Night on Friday, August 8. Hope to see you there! [Watch for more information in your Sunday School classes and around the church building!]
