Melbourne Lockdown Games.
Change lockdown into Fun and Games
Our Games Pledge
When we heard that another 6 weeks of lockdown was coming, we decided to make it 6 weeks of Olympic Games.
Carpet Bowls
Quoits
Skittles
Balloon Tennis
walkathon - wheelchairathon
Mind Games - Quizes Cross words etc.
All Games where social distancing is maintained.
The Games are continuing past the 6 weeks due to continuing lockdown and the fact that they are being greatly enjoyed.
Closing Ceremony will be later...much later...
Our Games will reflect the spirit of the Olympic Games
where the goal is not to win but to take part,
just as the most important thing in life is not the triumph
but the struggle. The essential thing is not to have
conquered but to have fought well.
During this corona virus pandemic,we will hope in the Lord
and renew our strength.
We will raise our heads above the pandemic and allow our
human spirits to soar on wings like eagles;
we will run and not grow weary, we will walk and not be faint.
We will combat the deep concern and anxiety of the world
with our joy, our trust and our love.
During this 6 weeks we will pray with great faith and fervour
we will play with energy and enjoyment and we will fill the
atmosphere with our laughter enabling it to permeate
the cosmos with the positive energy needed to kill the virus.
