It is stewardship season—and we all know that stewardship doesn’t really have anything to do with ships, but our regatta is a great excuse to have a little fun with the concept. Therefore your family or table group is invited to make a sail boat out of recycled items to sail in our regatta on Oct. 30.
Here are the guidelines:
- Boats must be made from recycled materials (pool noodles, empty soda cans, empty juice boxes, etc.)
- Boats must be no more that 5” wide—otherwise the boat will be too big for our “river.”
- Please use the linked outlines for the sails—or an equivalent. Before attaching the sails to your vessel, families/teams should carefully consider the questions and record their responses on the sails—or decorate your sails and boat in such a way that it represents your conversation.
- A regatta is technically a race, but since stewardship is not a competition we will be sailing our boats and showing off our creations without judging winners and losers. Have some fun and talk with your family and friends about what you treasure, how you see God working in your life, and how you can respond to God’s good gifts.
Parents! Please note that our Stewardship Regatta is really about the conversation. The boat part is really just an excuse to talk with your children as a family about stewardship, the values that are important to your family, and how your family can strive to put God first—or at least a little higher on the list.
The Stewardship Regatta will be held after lunch on Consecration Sunday, Oct. 30.
