Pious turkey

COMPILED BY SUBAJAYANTHI B.

A church in Wales Township will hold a moment of silence at the Sunday service for a turkey that died recently. Taking time to remember a wild turkey may seem strange, but the pastor said it was for "a model member" of his congregation. The Rev. James Huff, pastor of Lambs United Methodist Church said the turkey regularly attended Sunday services and greeted people as they arrived. "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 turkey died last week after it was hit by a car. "The fowl never missed a service," he said. "We've got so many pictures of it. It was like our mascot."
