Elnora Jensen walked quietly down the carpeted steps. She 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. She heard a noise. She turned around to see the smiling face of Roger Corby. He was the church's custodian and handy man.
" Happy Easter Roger". She walked over to the refrigerator to make sure they had plenty of orange juice.
" Happy Easter to you too Elnora". He pulled up a rolling rack of folding chairs. He began to set them up.
Elnora smiled. " Did the hot cross buns get here from the store?".
" Yes they did". He kept setting up the chairs. " We should have plenty of napkins and paper plates also".
" Good". She began to set up the coffee pots. " How is the upstairs doing?".
Roger grinned. " Just fine".
