The teen youth group of Fellowship Baptist Church of Salisbury had a Progressive Thanksgiving Dinner on Friday, November 17, 2005. We had a good time of fellowship as we drove around to the various homes and ate some good food and played some Thanksgiving Games.
We had four stops on our tour and had a good time and good food at each. We started with a stop at Nancy Dodson's clubhouse for salad. After eating a great salad, we had a pin the beard on the Turkey competition, which Shane won and Rebecca came in second.
Our next stop was at the Insley home out by the Nanticoke River. Linda really went all out and we set down for what seemed like a formal meal. We had turkey, mashed potatoes, stuffing, rolls and more for the main course. I was a little worried by this time that we would everyone would be stuffed and not able to eat at the other two stops - but never underestimate the ability of teens to eat. After eating the meal, we played a little game where the guys wore paper bags over their heads and were playing the role of a turkey with their heads cut off. They each had a partner who was to yell directions to the turkeys as the navigated their way around obstacles on the Insley's deck. Tyler and Alexis won that competition, with Chad and Rebecca coming in second.
Our third stop was the Jones' residence down in Bi-Valve. We had appetizers at the Jones and they were very good and appropriately light. This worked really well after the meal portion that everyone had just ate. (Why appetizers after the main course? It worked better with some of the hosts schedules.) We also played a short game of Turkey trivia (the girls won) and played in the Jones' game room.for awhile before departing for our next stop.
Our final stop was at the Berglind's house for dessert. By this time, it was getting pretty late and a lot of folks were tired. We had cake, cheesecake, and cookies. It was very good and a great variety. I am sure all of the calories were removed from the items. Since it was getting pretty late by this time, we did not play a game at this house, but Chad and the bird entertained us while we were eating.
I want to thank all of the hosts for their work in hosting us for the trip. I appreciate all you did and we enjoyed it very much. I also want to thank Steven Fleming for driving the other vehicle on the trip - it was a great help, as well.
I am on the plane right now as I write this heading to Illinois to see my mother in the hospital. I love you folks at Fellowship Baptist Church. You have been a great encouragement to me as I go through this with my mom. Please continue to pray for her - and for me.
In Christ,

Pastor's Pen (Bulletin Version) - November 5
It was great to see a number of vehicles here yesterday for the Kitchen Shower. Part of me wanted to sneak in and see exactly what ladies do at these things called "Showers", but the wiser part of me realized that I would probably only get myself into trouble. I heard, however, that the ladies had a great time with the shower and that many needed things were supplied as part of the process. Thanks to Linda Crockett and Nancy Dodson for heading up this activity.
Our new sign is now mounted! Jimmy and Johnny Insley and a crew of guys were out here yesterday fighting the cold to put up the sign. It looks really nice and it should go a great way in letting people in the area know that we are here.
Coming up in a few weeks is our Pie N Praise service. Even if you do not normally make it out for our Wednesday night service, I want to encourage you to try to work your schedule so that you can be hear for this special night. We will have a special time on "Thanksgiving Eve" as we praise the Lord for His goodness and we think back on what God has done. We will also have a time of pie and ice cream after the service as an added incentive.
We are in the process of planning an upcoming Youth Activity. I would like to do a Progressive Thanksgiving Dinner for the teens - with a few twists that will remain secret at this time. In order to be able plan this activity, I need at least three families that would be willing to open their homes to us and a couple of drivers. If you would be interesting or willing to help us out for this youth activity, please see me for details.
Tuesday is Election Day. Don't forget to get out to your polling place and exercise your civic duty.
In Christ,
Pastor Frank Sansone
