Sign-up for our PLAGUED Escape Room! This is for all ages (geared toward families) to play and enjoy. Learn about the ten Egyptian plagues in the form of solving clues and puzzles.

"The world renowned archeologist, Professor Sandy McRelic, spent her life’s work looking for evidence of the Egyptian plagues during Moses’ time. God sent Moses to tell Pharaoh to let his people go, or face the wrath of a plague. It took ten plagues to convince Pharaoh to free the Israelite people. Professor Sandy McRelic discovered that each of the ten plagues left behind a special golden artifact, only one of its kind in all the world. McRelic was lucky enough to uncover five of these artifacts, but she couldn’t complete her collection before her passing. Can you help discover the final five golden artifacts to complete McRelic’s collection?"

We released the butterflies that have been growing in Ms. Rachel's office today. The kids got to take part in watching them go, and in naming them. Without further ado, meet Bobby Jones, Elizabeth, Ruby, Pastor Kent Jr., Pastor Tim Jr., and Rachel Jr. Maybe we'll see them around our property!

Go enjoy creation today, friends. 🦋
