A Nice Saturday of Food, Fun, & Fellowship

Behold, how good and how pleasant it is for brethren to dwell together in unity!  Psalm 133:1 KJV

On Saturday, we had a Church Family BBQ at church.  The fires were lit in the bbq pits around 9 am and seasoned chickens and sausage went on once the coals were ready.  People brought all sorts of side dishes and desserts and we all sat down and enjoyed some great food and fantastic fellowship.

While waiting for the food to be ready, we had several washer boards set up, horseshoes, bean bag toss game, and we threw the football.  Everyone was enjoying themselves.  After we ate, the games continued outside and then there were some Bible trivia type games in the fellowship hall.

For the youth, we had a frozen t-shirt game that they seemed to enjoy.  We got two t-shirts soaking wet the night before and folded them up, twisting them into a ball and then put them in the freezer overnight.  This resulted in a rock hard t-shirt the morning of the church social.  Teams were picked and each team was given a frozen t-shirt, with instructions that the winner would be the first team to thaw out the shirt and have someone put it on.  You cannot use any water and you can't use any tools beside your fingers.  Start pulling!

Each team began trying to pry out a small part of the shirt to get something to pull on.  It was very slow going at first.  They moved out into the sun to perhaps speed up the thaw.

I kept going back and forth between the teams.  It was an evenly matched competition with both teams running neck and neck...

Pretty soon a portion of the t-shirt was pulled out and they found a little leverage to start unraveling it.  You could hear the ice cracking.  The pulling was hard and resulted in the t-shirt getting a little ripped in places.

The team with all boys seemed to make more progress at the end, as the other team watched on, trying hard to catch up!

It was too late, however.  The team with all boys got the frozen t-shirt on first and won the game!

Team 2 with two girls and one boy weren't far behind though.

We all had a really nice time.  Psalm 133:1 that is at the top of this post is certainly true!  It is truly a blessing to have a church family where everyone is unified and loves one another.  We all left at the end of the day vowing to have another church social soon.
