CELEBRATION OF LIFE. Don Champion, the Rev. Gregg Ellery, the Rev. Craig King and the Rev. Mark Childers (back row) and Valerie Ellery and Marsha Champion (front row) switched newspapers with taxi driver Ali (front row, center) near Johannesburg, South Africa. The group from Bayside Community Church traveled to Bulawayo, Zimbabwe, to hold Christmas parties with children from two African elementary schools. The group had a layover in Johannesburg just two days after Nelson Mandela’s death. An impromptu celebration of life took place outside Mandela’s home, where the group snapped this photo.
