A super night of fun

Friday the 13th was good luck for us at church. A group of young people traveled to Springfield, Massachusetts for the Word of Life Super Bowl . We met at the church at 6:00 p.m. and made our way up through Hartford and on to the Springfield Civic Center. We watched as the Springfield Eagles beat the Bridgeport Tigers 3 -2 in overtime and then listened to a preacher talk about the difference Jesus can make in someone's life.

Over three hundred kids got a chance to get on the ice in a huge rally after the message. Elsie and Alana were among those to get a chance to capture prizes. At 12:45 a.m. we got in the van and drove to Chicoppee to go bowling. We had fun. They also provided Domino's pizza and cold soda for the group. The boys won both games but conceded the fact that it was all done in good fun and no one back home was to see the scores.

At 3:15 p.m. we left for the roller rink in northern Springfield. We arrived at they rink and the kids put on their skates and got right into it. The next two hours passed pretty quickly and by 5:15 p.m. we were packing up to return home. Everyone was tired but pretty happy that they had conquered the night and survived another Word of Life Super Bowl adventure. We arrived back in Norwich at 7:00 a.m. and most of us were happy to find our beds waiting for us.
