At the Harvard Epworth Church, during a memorial service for member Geneva Malenfant, the former pastor, Ed Mark, got off the best lines. He recalled one Sunday when, as a candidate for pastor, he preached.
After the service that day, he stood at the door greeting departing parishioners. Geneva came by, shook his hand, and said to him: “That was the worst sermon I have ever heard.”
Ed's second line also drew laughs: “That was the beginning of a beautiful friendship.”
