Last month my son and I went for a walk along the river in Corvallis, Oregon.   He took his phone along because he had recently started playing Pokémon Go and wanted to catch up in points with his wife.  As we rounded one bend we saw a group of 25 people sitting under a tree all madly stroking their phones.  It was easy to strike up a conversation with these people.  Strangers the week before, they had become a community with a common purpose.  Individuals took turns purchasing 'Lures' which allowed everyone passing by to catch additional Pokémon.  

How should we respond to this new craze?  Stan Fetting has five tips for you.

I'd like to hear how you put his tips into practise.  Our church is having a pancake breakfast this Sunday for Australian Father's Day and I think it would be great to announce a future Pokémon Go event. 

I'm going to install the app on my phone tonight and see what it is like.  How about you?
