Fallen Turkey to Be Honored at Church

A church was planning a Sunday moment of silence for what the pastor called a

model member of his congregation: a wild turkey.

 

 

The turkey, which died last week after being hit by a car, regularly attended

Sunday services and greeted people as they arrived, said the Rev. James Huff,

pastor of Lambs United Methodist Church in St. Clair County.

 

 

" He would kind of wait for me to come in, " Huff told the Times Herald of Port

Huron. " He knew when I got there. Service was about to begin, and then he would

sit on one lady's car until we were done. "

 

 

The animal had been hanging around since late last year and quickly became known

for its fearless attitude. Some people said it showed up every morning at the

community's bus stop and chased children. Others enjoyed watching the bird strut

down the street, trying to impress female turkeys.

 

 

" We've got so many pictures of it, " said Douglas Bishop, the church's music

director. " It was like our mascot. "
