Scavenger Hunt

Welcome to the Orange Church of the Nazarene Holy Week Scavenger Hunt!


We hope your family has a great time venturing out in your car to find these items. (If you would rather stay home at this time, you can find these items around your house and take a family photo with each item.)

This scavenger hunt was created to help you remember the events of Holy Week. Please submit your pictures to info@orangevanaz.org or at www.facebook.com/orangevanazarene. We hope you all have a great time. I will get a prize to each family who completes the hunt!

  2. All Items are hidden around the town of Orange, either in a park, storefront window/parking lot or along the road . Everything is visible from your car. (except sponge) Use the Bible CLUE for a hint to the location. (think name of store, name of street, kind of business, name of park)
  3. Find each item pictured and take a selfie with the object.
