Clue  #10
The clues may have you tangled in a web,
Watch out for the foxes and tall grass ahead,
If you make it through those forward you will go,
Under two of these right in a row,
Hold your back straight,
Follow your heart
Keep going north
Way to finish what you start.

Clue #9
Have you got your fill of clues,
Are you completely confused,
You are doing great,
Don’t give up at all,
At this point you should be passed the wall,
Ahead the direction is North,
Just keep going straight,
Not back and forth.
Refusing to give up,
Perseverance you know well,
Are you close to spot,
Only time will tell.

Cosmo is getting warm being outside in this heat.  So we thought it’s time for another clue!  Happy Hunting!

Clue #8
It is time now to take a break,
Not sure how long this will take,
Grab everyone you love,
Do something crazy,
Something fun,
Oh wait you better make it quick,
Come on, Come on ,
The clock it ticks,
Sit down as a family,
Map out your plan,
Finding Cosmo is close at hand.

Sorry folks about the delay in the clues.  Technical error!  Just found out that they didn’t get posted when planned.  Happy hunting!

Clue #5
One star you will see,
And two more there will be,
At first this path seems divided.
If this seems impossible,
Think of what Jesus did for you,
And preserve, you will make it through.

Clue #6
The division is over,
Straight is the road,
I hope you’ve found the way to go,
Have you seen the two other stars,
Cause if you don’t you won’t get far,
Cosmo loves to play at the beach,
He is a big fan of the water,
Keeping your eyes on Jesus,
Front ahead you will go,
You are getting closer,
Just so you know.

Our starting point is a wash,
Head for the hills and cross over the rocks,
If you stop by the edge, you still need to persevere,
Turn left at the light before it turns green.

Clue #3
Announcing clue number 3,
Hope you’re having fun with your family,
Hebrews 12 talks of a great cloud of witness,
And how we all need perseverance,
Never give up or run a way,
This statement is very concrete,
Clue number 4 comes next week.

Clue #2
Now that you’ve pondered the very first clue,
Here’s the next one to help you through,
I hope number fourteen and five are the ones you picked,
Alphabetically it will do the trick,
Running with perseverance,
Our race marked out,
Here is something to think about,
Jesus loves you with all his heart,
This is right and a great place to start.

OK families–this is it–what you have been waiting for since the weekend: the first clue in the Where in the World is Cosmo contest.  Remember, the medallion is NOT located on NewSpring property. The medallion is hidden somewhere in Sedgwick county.  You will NOT have to destroy any property to find it.  Be safe at all times.  And parents, make sure you take the opportunity to teach your kids about the Big Idea of Perseverance while you are looking….that is the whole point of this contest.  If you missed Family Experience this past weekend, we introduced a brand new Where in the World is Cosmo contest where families have the chance to use clues to search for a Cosmo medallion. The family to find Cosmo first will win a fabulous set of prizes including family movie passes, Imax family movie passes, 100.00 Visa gift card for back to school shopping, waterpark passes and–just for the adults–$50.00 gift card to Red Rock Canyon Grill to celebrate your win! 

If you find Cosmo you need to take a family picture in the place you find it and email it to dan.kubish@newspring.org to make your win official.  Have fun as a family as you learn about Perserverance!

Clue #1
Summer is here,
How do you know,
It is time again to find Cosmo,
Taking care of business in the ICT,
You should always start central,
Nineteen, Five, Fourteen or Twenty-three,
Two together is the direction you see,
You might be scratching your head,
Thinking this doesn’t make sense,
Remember the Big Idea is Perseverance.
