Geocache Description:

The Old_Bat is having a birthday and we are placing a cache to commemorate the occasion. You will learn a little bit about her and her church while attempting to solve this puzzle.


Your journey begins at the posted coordinates where you will find a sign. The man in charge at this location (at least on the ground), is not known as Dr. Samuel or as Father Henry, but as Brother ______. X is the sum of the letter values of his name. 

.

The last 4 digits of the phone number spell a well known church phrase. Y is the sum of the letter values of this phrase.  If you are lucky, and one of the vans is in the parking area, you may save some effort. 

.

Nearby, the sidewalk seems to take a detour around a fairly common object.  The name of this object is two words.  The first word is four letters and the sum of the letter values is 38. Z is the number of letters in the second word.

.

The cache can be found at:

N 26 4A.BCD and W080 0E.FGH

.

A is the last digit of the street address.  BC is the Old_Bat's age. The picture of the birthday cake, once it is posted, may help you here. D is the same as Z.  E is the number of e's in the Cache Title. F is the number of children the Old_Bat has and is also (the sum of the street address)/F.  GH = X + Z - Y

.

Initial contents of cache:   Log, small swag

.

Congratulations to FIRST TO FIND: Well, It was the Old_Bat Herself !!!
