What a nice meal we had at West Grove United Methodist Church's annual chicken BBQ on Saturday: chicken, a baked potato, applesauce, coleslaw, a roll and a whole buffet of home-made desserts. We were hungry and arrived a few minutes early, so we watched the Boy Scouts, working in assembly-line fashion, put together dinners for take-out customers.
When they were ready for us in the "dining room" (actually the church's worship space), we sat down at a table with several older folks. After eating (priorities!), we struck up a conversation with one of the gentlemen, a farmer. He told us how proud he was to be a member of the growing church congregation, which he said is full of enthusiastic people and many young families.
After such a hearty dinner (I even took home a doggy bag of chicken) we felt the need for some exercise, so we headed to the southern part of Goddard Park on Route 841 in London Grove Township. The northern part of the park has a dog park, a little playground and a paved walking path, but the less-developed southern half is just woods and fields, with gravel and dirt trails.
