Gallery: Students compete to win game night during Missions Week

September 22, 2021 by Shelly Womack

The Halbert Center for Missions and Global Service ended the second day of Missions Week with an outdoor game night. Students competed in teams to win several games, including an obstacle course, lasso toss and a balloon baby relay. Teams placing first, second and third received gift baskets with goodies from retailers across Abilene and merchandise from the Halbert Center.
