Jesse watched the first raindrops fall on the glass door. He smiled as a white Saturn drove into the driveway. Brad and Doris Mickell were usually the first to arrive. He opened the door.
Brad walked in carrying bibles and bible study guides. " Good evening Jesse" he said with a smile. He put the stuff on a blue sofa that was near the front stairs.
Jesse opened the door for Doris. " How is it out there?".
" There's a bad rain storm coming with high wind". She walked into the kitchen to get a cup of hot apple cider. " It looks like it could start any minute".
Jesse put his bible and study guide on a side table. " We will have to pray that everyone gets here before that starts".
Doris sat down on the blue sofa and took a sip of her cider. " Is everyone coming?".
Both Jesse and Brad got a cup of hot apple cider and sat down.
Jesse smiled. " As far as I know everyone is coming". He looked at Brad. " What do you think about our new church janitor?".
" I have not actually met him". He took a sip of his cider. " It sounds like he's doing a good job so far".
Jesse frowned as more rain fell on the glass door and the wind was picking up. He prayed silently that everyone would get there safely.
