Interesting post, Slash! My wife’s home congregation is Ebenezer Lutheran in Audubon, IA. It’s out in the country and one of few remaining ELCA churches in the area. The first time I heard the name, I thought of the Baptist church where Martin Luther King served as pastor…and a close second was the Scrooge connection. Happy New Year!

Me, too. I looked for it, but didn’t see it posted yet. If it goes up, I’m happy to provide a link.

If you look at Ebenezer Scrooge by the end of A Christmas Carol he is a transformed man: kind, generous, loving. The name Ebenezer could capitalize on those qualities. In fact, my Christmas sermon was about “How to be a Scrooge” (transformed by Christ).
