Kelstern Community Church near Hodgeville, Sask. used the names of chocolate bars to write a story about its pastor couple Arnie and Sharon Armstrong as a way to express its appreciation for their ministry during the last five years. The story was written on bristol board with the chocolate bars glued in the appropriate places. The story began when the couple met: “Sharon was so beautiful that Arnie thought he was seeing a Mirage. He Scored big points with her parents, Helmut and Sweet Marie, and knew that he wanted to work for Mr. Big. In May 1984, their son Joshua was born, and the twosome became the Three Musketeers. Arnie and Sharon both have degrees so the church is fortunate to have a couple of Smarties.”
