the stranger who came to town page 7 by ric Gustafson


Pastor Winters was walking into his office when he noticed Josh and Clarice walk in.
" Hi Pastor Winters".
" Hi". He smiled. " I was just getting ready for the service". He began to put on his robe. " We can talk after the service is over".
" Ok" Josh replied as he grinned at the Pastor. " I need to talk to you about something".
They sat down in a pew and saved a space for Homer. Linda Langford sat down next to them like she always did. Josh worried about her because she could barely lift her left arm due to a shoulder injury.
Just as the first hymn was about to start, Homer quietly sat down next to Josh and Clarice. Josh noticed that Homer always has his dark sunglasses on. As the service went on, he noticed that Homer never picked up the green hymnal or sang when the hymns were sung.
Twenty minutes into the service, Pastor Winters started his sermon.
