Chess originated in India in the 6th century CE, evolving from a game called chaturanga, which meant “four divisions of the military”. The game then spread to persia becoming shatranj, and from there they traveled through the muslim world and into europe. European players made significant changes, leading to the modern game by around 1500 CE.

First they start with an ice breaker sometimes 4 corners other times "backpacking trip" and other fun activities. After they finish with the icebreaker, they do devotion, read the Bible, have some snacks, and then they will pray. After that they split into groups they will say a couple verses and ask questions like "How can you live out and make these verses your everyday life?" or "How can we make space for people who feel like they belong?" and other questions like ”If someone is by themselves, invite to them over to your friend group.”
