The Storyline:
Welcome to the annual women’s ministry Thanksgiving gathering, a time of fellowship, reflection, and gratitude for God’s goodness.

The meal has been shared, the activities are complete, and the evening is nearly over. Each year, the gathering closes with a special blessing read aloud over the women before they return home.

There is just one problem: this year’s Thanksgiving blessing is missing.

The blessing was placed inside the ministry’s wooden Gratitude Chest for safekeeping, but the chest is locked, and its code has disappeared.

To recover the blessing, the women must retrace the evening from the moment it began. They will revisit the welcome table, place settings, Thanksgiving buffet, scripture discussion, gratitude board, charitable outreach project, encouragement cards, and final worship song.

Each completed puzzle reveals one number. When the correct numbers are identified, the women can unlock the Gratitude Chest and recover The Thanksgiving Blessing.
