serve pineapple juice as the beverage and we were expecting a small attendance.  It turned out that attendance exceeded all expectations and we had to add  more water to the pineapple juice.  After we finished serving there was an unusual quietness.  Then Norris Greenplate shouted, 'This drink tastes like water!'  I will never live that night down.
"The MYF sponsored several plays that Louise and I enjoyed.  We performed at Ebenezer, Hockessin, and Landenburg Methodist Churches.  We all had fun doing these plays.
"During the war years I was in the U.S. Army overseas.  The MYF published the Ebenezer Booster and sent copies to all those in the service so as to keep us in touch with the news at home."
When asked what Ebenezer has meant to him, Ferris replied, "Ebenezer has always meant caring for one another."

Lindsay Greenplate is another 50-plus year member.  He was Sunday school superintendent from 1944 until his retirement.  Rev. George Goodley (pastor from 1941-42 and visitation minister from June 1, 1977 until his death in 1999) had an influence on his life and other young people in the church said Lindsay.  What he remembers most about Ebenezer was how active the MYF was and a lot of the older family names were very active in the church as well.  Lindsay said his membership at Ebenezer has been a "great experience" and spiritual.  Ebenezer is where he accepted Christ into his life.  He enjoys the fellowship and worship.  Lindsay said it is rewarding to see the growth of Ebenezer and believes that having new members join from other churches enriches our faith.
