Turkey Bowl

Brookside's 23rd annual Turkey Bowl took place early this morning. Each Thanksgiving the elders and deacons challenge the youth group to a tag/tackle football game, followed by Cinnamon rolls & Coffee and semi-casual Thanksgiving worship service. They used to play on the church lawn, but because of space, moved it to a local Christian School soccer field.

The youth group had quite the team this year, and beat the council 24-7. The youth group has now won 12 games, and the council 11 out of the 23 years.

Before opening the worship service, the senior youth and representatives from council each gave a report about the outcome of the game.

The energy from the field carried into the following worship service, giving thanks to God for his goodness to us. I wish we sang the Thanksgiving hymns throughout the entire year!
