Summer reading bingo at Messiah

Calling all kids who like to read (and parents and trusted adults who want to see kids read more this summer!)

Starting soon, depending on when books and shelving arrive,  Messiah will have a summer reading bingo challenge!

Take a card that has the nine books on it and as kids read each book, they should cross it off the list 

The books will be available at both campuses in a bookshelf and there will be a sign out sheet next to the bookshelf to show which books have borrowed, when it was borrowed, and when it was returned. 

All the book options can also find these at the local library. Once kids have read all nine ,bring the card to one of the Pastors for a fun prize!

(Trusted adults, these are age appropriate, faith-based books that have solid theology and show great diversity.)

The books on the reading bingo list are:

God's Dream by Archbishop Desmon Tutue and Douglas Carlton Abrams
