" Go in peace, serve the Lord".

Homer opened his eyes. He glanced around the sanctuary. He sighed. " Great, another church assignment".

" Are you visiting?".

Homer looked up to see a nicely dressed elderly woman smiling at him." I noticed you were not wearing a nametag".

" I'm Homer Tang". They shook hands. 

" Lois Belkin". She pointed at her nametag. " I'm one of the charter members of this church".

They began walking toward the back of the sanctuary. A young pastor was shaking hands.

Homer noticed that the church was not very old. " How long has this church been here?".

" Only five years".

" Great sermon Pastor". Velma Reynolds shook the young pastor's hand. " Enjoyed the music".

" Pastor Roberts". Homer was standing behind her. " Here is a new visitor".

Homer walked from behind her and shook the young pastor's hand. " I'm Homer Tang".

" Nice to meet you". When they shook hands, a strange feeling came over the young pastor. " I hope you will enjoy coming to our services".

Homer began to walk toward the coffee and cookie cart. " I don't go to church very often".
