She led the way down the long corridor to the only open door at the very end of the hall. Voices murmured through the walls of other classes and groups who were meeting, giving her a satisfied feeling. This church and its buildings were some of her favorite places.

“I grew up here,” she told Chad in a low voice. “Right across the hall is where I used to have Sunday school when I was itty-bitty.”

“It must be something to have roots like you do. Not only with your family, but with your church family right here.”

“You didn’t grow up in that way?”

“Hardly. My parents aren’t disbelievers, but they aren’t believers, either. We always attended Christmas Eve and Easter services when I was a kid. I think I would have liked being part of something bigger than myself, even back then. I love Sunday school, and the summer day camp is a blast even as an adult.”

“I think so, too.” She led the way into the empty classroom. “I would do it year-round if I could. How did you find your faith?”

“One night when I was down, and I mean really down, I felt so alone and it was the most horrible pain. I remembered something far back from one Christmas service. The minister had spoken on a passage and I remembered it. He said nothing is impossible with the Lord. I was out of hope, I was out of luck, and I was terrified. I figured that was a pretty impossible situation and I prayed. That night I gave my life to God and started new.”

He stood there in the doorway with his shoulders straight and his baritone rich with sincerity like a perfect face of faithfulness. Her heart fluttered. Yes, it was very hard not to absolutely adore him—in a friendly way, of course.

“I’m glad,” she told him. “I’m sorry you went through such a hard time. Maybe you will tell me about it some time. I’m very glad that you have been led here. I really need someone like you in my life.”

“Funny, I feel the exact same way about you.” His grin was lopsided, maybe a little sad, as he looked around the room. “Wait, I should have asked this earlier but this isn’t a singles’ group, is it?”

Rebecca slid her bag onto a table top. “Would you panic if I said yes?”

“I’m debating it.” His dimples cut into his cheeks. He was dashing in his black cotton shirt and worn jeans as he scanned the large classroom. “No one’s here yet.”

“We are, and besides, we’re early.” She pulled her study book and Bible out of her bag. “We can share, if you want. I was going to drop by the bookstore on my way home. I could pick up another copy for you.”

“Why don’t I tag along?”

“I wouldn’t mind the company.” She slipped her bag beneath the table.

“Great.” He settled in the chair next to her. “Do you always arrive early?”

“Yes. I don’t like to be late.
