Giving Thanks Banquet

On Friday afternoon we headed up to the Bomberger Farm to prepare for our first Giving Thanks Banquet.  At this banquet we wanted to let the elderly in our church know how much we appreciate them and their Christian examples to us young people.  So the Keepers Girls and The Youth Group all came together and in a group effort hosted a Giving Thanks Banquet!  The Farmer's Wife was so kind and offered to baby sit David for us...click here to see pictures of his visit to the farm.  :)

 Joanna, Danielle, and I arranged flowers, pumpkins, and ferns outside the door...

 Busy preparing the food!

 Each table had rolls, butter, cranberry sauce, and a pickle dish.
The younger Keepers girls were very helpful!

 Mommy wood burned "Give Thanks" into this box which we used as a centerpiece on the stage.

 When the guests arrived we took their coats and asked if they would like some fresh apple cider.

 Servers!  :)

 Delicious desserts!!!

 Hymns played on the keyboard by Samantha softly drifted throughout the room creating a beautiful atmosphere with the dim lights and candles.

 Kitchen workers...

After the meal we sang a few songs;
God Is Good, I Love You Lord, and Give Thanks

 The older Keepers girls sang "I Found It All"
Zoe, Joanna, and Emily played it is well on their violins accomplanied by Abigail on the keyboard.

The guys (those old enough to drive :) offered valet services.
