Do you know the answer?

Bill and Lina Ludlow celebrated their 50th wedding anniversary with family and friends in the church hall in 1998.

UPDATE: Who is our oldest living member? It’s still open to any challengers that want to come forward, but my nomination is Bill Ludlow. A member since 1950 (!) Bill celebrated his 99th birthday in September. According to his daughter Liz, who supplied the video clip below, he is in “remarkable shape for his age” and “still singing Scottish songs!”

I will leave the second question, about people from our congregation called to ministry over the years, for another day.

A Joint Pastoral Relations Committee, with members from both VUC and CPU, with Rev. Nerny in 1980. Bill Ludlow is in the second row, second from the right.

ORIGINAL POST:

I have two skill-testing questions for you today. It’s really more information-gathering than a quiz, since I am not sure I have the right answers myself!First: who is SouthWest’s oldest living member? I know some people don’t like to admit their age so that makes it challenging. But send me your guesses/ nominees!

Second: who are the members of our congregation over the years who have gone on to enter ministry?
