the great egg souffle caper page 4

 the great egg souffle caper page 4 by ric gustafson


After the 8:00 service started, more egg souffle came. Elnora and the others warmed up more hot cross buns. They poured more orange juice. Elnora figured she had just enough for the crowd that was coming. In case the crowd was larger than expected, she had one egg souffle dish in reserve.
When the service ended, the line began to form down the stairs.
" How is it going Elnora?". It was Pastor Greerson.
She noticed he was one of the first in line.
" We're doing fine so far".
" I got in line because I'm hungry". He was handed a plate. He sat down.
" We need some more egg souffle upstairs".
Elnora turned to notice a young man who was dressed casually in jeans and a t shirt. She did not recognize him. She figured he was helping Marjorie upstairs.
" I have an extra egg souffle dish warming up". She wiped the sweat from her brow. " You can take it". She got the dish and handed it to the young man.
" Thank you". He ran up the stairs with the dish.
After the crowd died down, Elnora began to pray that more egg souffle would be coming.
