himself)
Minister of Music: 11 (1 to change the
bulb and 10 to guard the grand piano and sound equipment)
Associate Pastor: data not available (He
didn't know the light was out since he is always in the dark anyway)
Youth Pastor: 28 (1 to change the bulb
and 19 to promote the fundraiser to buy the bulb and 8 to explain to
angry parents why it was out during the youth lock-in)

it when she is good and ready)
