We are on a winning streak.

Clergy Retreat and Sunshine Lead to Mariners’ Victory over the Angels!
Eleven members of our Presbytery gathered in the choir loft (a.k.a. the left-field bleachers) at Safeco Field for the fifteenth Clergy Retreat (trivia from Ted) on May 19th.   Ted Mattie challenged us with a Clergy Retreat Trivia Content. LeAnn Venn and Sarah Beard tied for first place with three of seven correct answers.  As always, the smell of garlic fries lured some of the retreatants into purchases, Paul Strawn and George Eastman to name two.  Shirley Cruthers showed restraint by not purchasing garlic fries although she did sample a few.  Pat Sweeney, an elder from North Creek, joined in the festive mood.  He and Navy Chaplain Mark Cook talked submarines.  Jenny Schaefer enthusiastically rooted for the Mariners while Jenny’s Dad, Scott Schaefer, and Bob Slater longed for their beloved Los Angeles Dodgers to show up.  Basking in the warm sunshine, the group cheered exuberantly when the game ended suddenly in the bottom of the ninth inning when the Angels’ Gold-Glove center fielder lost a fly ball in the sun to allow the winning run to score!

 

All those items at the office will wait for another day!  Get together with your colleagues and enjoy the camaraderie at the ol’ ballpark.  You will be better for it! Thanks to Paul Strawn for once again waiving his handling fee.
