The Champions!

Congratulations to the Ebeneezer and the Scrooges team which won the arduous competition at the Pastoral Staff and Spouses Christmas party. It was touch and go to the end, with E&S winning the final game. Each team member had to say to the next team member, "This too is vanity and a striving after the wind," without either person smiling. The Elfs couldn't quite handle it. So, again, congratulations to the following team members who won 15 to 0. (They had 2,015 points but 2,00o points were deducted after Phil read my private scoring notes.)

Team members: Susan McDowell, Luella Tripp, Pat Canavan, Caroll Wynne, Debbie Langford, Kate Apple, Cora Hogue, Jonathan Olsen, Phil Ryken.
