Nicholas sat down in the pew and began to read the bulletin. He watched the choir walk in and sit down in the choir loft. He could sense that someone was sitting down next to him.

" Hello Nicholas".

The young man turned to see that the Creator had sat down next to him. " I did not know that you were going to be here".

" I thought it would be fun to come to this service".

Nicholas looked around the crowded sanctuary. " This service looks packed today".

" Nicholas, this is a purpose driven church".

" Purpose driven?".

" This church has asked the question and answered it".

" The question?".

" Why does this church exist?".

" Why does this church need to answer that question?".

" Because Nicholas" the Creator said with a smile. " Without a purpose, this church has no foundation or motivation to even exist".
