REFUGE FAVS: Recipe (Brownie Trifle) and Game (GROG-thanks to "egad!" ideas)

Brownie Trifle

This easy and delicious recipe is the favourite at REFUGE. Try it today!
What you need:

• 1 pkg brownie mix (or you can make your own favourite batch of brownies)
• 1 pkg instant chocolate pudding (the kind you mix with milk &ready in 2 minutes)
• 500ml container of whipping cream (beat with electric mixer until it peaks)

• Bake your brownies according to package.
• Let cool. Cut your brownies into bite-sized pieces. Set aside.
• Mix your pudding according to package.
• In a 2L glass bowl layer 1/3 of pudding. Then ½ of your brownie pieces. Another layer of pudding. The other ½ of your brownie bites. Then all the pudding you have left. Top with whip cream.
• Refrigerate at least 1 hour and Enjoy!

GROG!

Everyone waits in a room while one person hides the four pieces of a flashlight (2 batteries, light and case) around the church in relatively plain sight. Then turn off the lights. Have 2 youth volunteer to be IT. They will be “THE GROG”.

The object of the game is for the non-Grog teens to work together and reassemble the flashlight, and then shine it in The Grog's eyes, rendering The Grog OUT. When both Grogs are OUT, the game is over.

The catch is if a Grog touches a non-Grog on the shoulder the non-Grog must scream as loud as possible and fall down, dead. They can be revived if touched by another non-Grog, and they don't have to relinquish any flashlight pieces they might have in their possession.
