Elnora Jensen walked quietly down the carpeted steps and turned on the lights. The large downstairs room was used as a youth room, confirmation classes and this morning Easter breakfast. She walked over and opened the heavy purple curtains to show a beautiful Easter sky. As she turned around, she noticed the smiling face of Roger Corby, the church's custodian and handy man.
" Happy Easter Roger" she said as she checked the white refrigerator to make sure they had plenty of orange juice.
" Happy Easter to you too Elnora" he said as he pulled up a rolling rack of folding chairs and began to set them up.
" Did the hot cross buns get here from the store?" she asked as she surveyed the long tables that were just set up by Roger and was to be used as their serving tables.
" Yes they did" he replied as he kept setting up the chairs. " And we should have plenty of napkins and paper plates too".
" Good" she said with a smile as she set up two coffee pots and began to set up the napkins, paper plates and the paper cups for the orange juice. " How is the upstairs doing?".
" Just fine".



Peace and God's blessings. Love Ric
