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 Frank Sansone
