WASHINGTON—Twelve men from the Portland, Oregon, congregation of the Philadelphia Church of God met at Big Al’s Bowling and Billiards on November 19 for a billiards double-elimination invitational.

None of the men play often, meaning the playing field was even. Member James Carlson was deemed the winner after sinking the eight ball on the third try.

Member Joshua Crocker said, “The best part is the camaraderie in a totally different venue.”
