the great egg soufflé caper page 4 by ric Gustafson
After the 8:00 service started, more egg soufflé came. Elnora and the others warmed up more hot cross buns and poured more orange juice. She realized that she only had one extra egg soufflé dish in case the crowd was larger than expected.
When the service ended, a line began to form down the stairs.
" How is it going Elnora?".
She turned to see the smiling face of Pastor Greerson.
" We're doing fine so far".
" I got in line because I'm hungry". He filled a plate and then sat down.
" We need some more egg soufflé upstairs".
She turned to find a young man who was dressed casually in jeans and a t shirt. She did not recognize him. She figured that he was helping Marjorie upstairs. " I have an extra egg soufflé dish warming up". She wiped the sweat from her brow. " You can take it". She got the dish and carefully handed it to the young man.
" Thank you". He ran up the stairs.
After the crowd had died down, Elnora began to pray that more egg soufflé would be coming.
