Moooooooore Turkey, Please!!! (Bowling, That Is!)

Turkey Bowling has long been a tradition - a messy one in the past - here at St. Joe's. TYME youth would gather to throw very frozen (and well-wrapped) turkeys down the lanes in Charles Hall. But, with Pam's brainstorm to use cleaner, more durable "turkeys," & Mary Allison's skills in weighting the "turkeys" with rice, Turkey Bowling can now be enjoyed by everyone!

This morning in Little Church, after practicing our listening skills as we heard the story of Samuel, who listened when God talked to him, and creating our own Thankful Turkey centerpieces, we headed off to the gym for some bowling!

Check out the pics of our star bowlers (and find out why the word turkey often appears in quotes in this post!)
