<p>Throughout the month of April, Shenanigans the Gnome will be hiding in different spots around the building, popping up somewhere new each week.</p>



<p>Keep a close eye out—it’s small, sneaky, and loves a good hiding place! Kiddos who find Shenanigans are invited to share&nbsp;it&#8217;s&nbsp;location with Robin, Aaron, or Dee and will receive a small prize.</p>



<p>We hope this simple activity brings a bit of fun, curiosity, and lighthearted adventure to your time in our community.</p>



<p>Happy hunting!</p><p>The post <a href="https://www.uucworcester.org/2026-03-31-have-you-spotted-shenanigans/">Have You Spotted Shenanigans?</a> first appeared on <a href="https://www.uucworcester.org">Unitarian Universalist Church of Worcester</a>.</p>]]></content:encoded>
