Progressing Scavenger Dinner

The last year Danny and I had the priviledge of leading a discipleship group for six 9th graders at Shandon Baptist Church. Every Sunday evening we would meet with Jamie, Nick, Will, Craig, Shayna, and Katherine at the Butler's home. Each week the students were responsible for completely 3-5 quiet times, memorizing a Bible verse, and finishing their Cross Training lesson.

Well, Cross Training has come to and end, and to celebrate and hear all 12 of the verses the kids had memorized this semester, we took them on a Progressive Dinner/Scavenger Hunt. We gave them a clue to each place where they were going to go to get one of sic courses for lunch. Then, at each course they said two of their memory verses to us. Below are the clues that Danny wrote for each stop. Some of them are restaurants, some of them are people/places that were specific to our Cross Training group. Can you guess any of them? The answers are below.

Clue #1
This first stop will be super fast.
We'll drive right in to wet our whistles.
And after the verse's we'll get on the road.
Where "R" we going?!
