Lord of Life Escape Room Experience
January 3rd-5th
The Lord of Life Escape Room will challenge your brain on all levels. Solve riddles, crack codes and find clues before the time runs out! Work together with your friends or family and find out who has it in them to keep going and not give up!
An elderly pastor has just passed away. His family is going through his study when they find a note from him sitting on his desk. In the note he writes his goodbye, but also reveals that he has hidden his original Bible from when he was in seminary somewhere in the room and his family must solve a series of puzzles and riddles to find it.
$10 per person and there is no limit on participants.
Located at 735 NE 1st Ave Grand Rapids, MN 55744

About the Gathering July 11-15, 2019
"Be still, and know that I am God. I will be exalted among the nations, I will e exalted in the earth!" The Lord of hosts is with us; The God of Jacob is our fortress." Psalm 46:10-11 ESV
Held every three years since 1980, the LCMS Youth Gathering provides thousands of youth and adults the opportunity to come together as a community of God's people to learn more about Jesus Christ, the Christian faith and their Lutheran identity.
In 2019 the Gathering will be held at the Minneapolis Convention Center. How blessed are we that it is in our own backyard.
Youth ages 14 at the time of the Gathering or going into 9th grade can attend the Gathering.
