Our Thanksgiving Day
After everyone “put away” a delightful Thanksgiving dinner, the Action Zambia team spent time recounting some of the things we were most thankful for. Going around the room, each of us attested to the Lord’s faithfulness and lavish blessings. Following that, we sang the hymn “We Gather Together” and closed with a litany from the Book of Common Prayer.
Outdoor games were planned for the children (15). Corbin and Jordan Ruseler helped get things started by organizing foot races out near the old football grounds… and the children had so much fun. Parents who were looking on found it difficult to watch from the side lines. Steve Allen really shook things up by playing tag.
After the fun outdoors, Andrea brought the children inside for a Thanksgiving craft. They made thankful turkey hands. Each child traced his/her hand and then wrote 5 things they were thankful for in each of the fingers. The craft was finished off with glueing turkey heads on and decorating it.
