The week flew by for Susan. She hated having to be closed during the remodel, but there was really nothing she could do about it. Craig came by every morning to go over with her what she wanted done and then once the insurance came through the workers came to make their plans a reality. She also hated the way she and Craig had lost their camaraderie of Saturday, but she wasn’t sure what to do about it. Their stilted conversations were becoming almost painful and she hated to admit it, but she dreaded them almost as much as she was dreading going to church on Sunday.

By the time Sunday morning rolled around she felt like she was going to be sick. She really didn't want to go to church.

"I'm so glad you wanted to come with me, Susan," Nana said as they walked toward the front of the warehouse turned church. There were quite a few people entering the building that boasted the name Cornerstone Church. They were greeted by a young man, "Welcome to Cornerstone. Enjoy the service."

"Thank you," Nana said. "What a pleasant young man," she whispered to Susan.

Susan just nodded. She was so far out of her comfort zone right now she wouldn't be surprised if Rod Sterling appeared announcing she had just entered the Twilight Zone. That thought made her smile and she glanced at Nana.

Nana smiled back at her with twinkling eyes, "Do you know how long it's been since I've darkened the door of a church?"

Susan shook her head, she couldn't even remember the last time she had darkened the door way of a church.

"I believe it was for your Grandpa's funeral."

Susan felt Nana's hand squeeze her arm. She didn't know what to say so she just patted Nana's hand in an effort to let her know it was okay.

As they entered the room where the service was to be held a woman handed each of them a bulletin and welcomed them to the service. Susan just smiled at her. They found a couple of seats toward the middle of the room. Susan had tried to get Nana to sit on the aisle in the back, but Nana was insistent on sitting more toward the front and smack in the middle of the row. There would be no easy way to escape now. She figured that was probably part of Nana's reason for sitting in such a spot.

Susan perused the bulletin as they waited for the service to start. From the looks of the bulletin this church had a lot of things going on outside of the normal Sunday service. It looked like there was something going on just about every night of the week for all different kinds of things. It was rather astonishing to Susan. She could never see herself doing more than church on Sunday. Actually, before today she couldn't even see herself doing that. She set the bulletin on her lap and resigned herself to an hour or more of pure boredom.
