DC 2nd sacrament bread wins “Best in Stake”

DC 2nd members walked away from today’s Stake Conference Award Ceremony with the “Best Sacrament Bread” prize. Competition judges attended randomly selected Sacrament meetings to determine which ward broke the tastiest bread. Factors playing into the decision included texture, piece size, freshness, and crust-to-non-crust ratio.

“There’s many people to thank,” expressed Elders Quorum Secretary Troy R. “We’ve been working hard to train Priesthood holders to break the bread at a reasonable size.”

Former bread-bringer, Samuel A., who recently moved to Utah, was credited for the win. Samuel often purchased hearty breads from Trader Joes. “There’s something about a bread with a little substance that gives me the will to keep going on Fast Sunday,” states Stacy A. “The white stuff seems to dissolve like cotton candy.”

An angered member from the DC 3d Ward, Sister M., told reporters that she made homemade bread every week for the past year.

The Potomac Ward took home the prize for “Highest Household Income,” while the Kentlands Ward took home the “Cleanest Chapel” award. The “Quietest Sacrament Meeting” prize—for which the DC 2nd was not a contender because of a minimum population requirement of children under three—went to the Chevy Chase Ward.

The Award Ceremony Pre-Show featured DC 2nd leadership in their finest Sunday Best. Relief Society President, Maria M., donned an elegant v-neck wool blend sweater dress by designer Banana Republic. Sister Bryan, wife of ward leader Bishop B., looked striking in a navy blue wool peplum blazer by designer Ann Taylor. The brethren looked dashing as well, Elders Quorum President Joseph C. sporting a light grey suit by designer Macey’s Department, and Ward Clerk Brian S. strutting in a brown three button mini-pinstripe suit by designer Men’s Warehouse.
