The Masked Saint Page #4

---

they taught us when a pastor moves

into a new church, he should

go out in the neighborhood

and introduce himself.

Maybe bring in some new members.

- In THIS neighborhood?

Good luck with that!

- I think it's a great idea,

Chris, I will go with you.

Is there somewhere

we can leave Carrie?

At daycare, or..?

- Well, Mrs. Samuels,

you're looking

at the church board here.

We're a little understaffed.

- Well, maybe that's

something I can change.

- That would be

wonderful. In the meantime,

Miss Edna can look after Carrie

for you, she'd be delighted.

- Miss Edna?

- She's one of our church's

greatest supporters.

- Like Judd...?

- Oh, better than that Lumpkin!

- Some strange man

just called Piper a rat!

- Oh, come here,

sweetie, it's OK.

Have a little faith

Feel His mercy and compassion

Have a little faith...

- Is this the place?

- This is the address

Tim gave me.

- Oh!

Hello! Hello, Pastor Chris!

- Hello!

- I'm Miss Edna Clark; Everybody

likes to call me Miss Edna.

Please, come in, come in.

- Is it OK if the dog comes?

- Every creature is

welcome in my home.

- Thank you.

- Dollhouse! Cool!

- So you're saying the church

hasn't been able

to support itself in years?

- Well, Judd is the only

thing supporting that church.

But, unfortunately, Judd is also

the reason our congregation

has fallen to less than half.

Nobody can stand that man.

- Maybe Judd needs

an attitude adjustment.

- Chris! Um...

you'll have

to excuse my husband, Miss Edna,

sometimes, he forgets

he's a pastor now.

- My husband and I gave

everything we had

to Westside Baptist and,

when the pastorship opened

again, I asked Tim:

Please, Tim, find us a fighter!

- That was you!

- That was me.

You forgot your umbrella.

- Thank you.

- So, go find some lost souls.

- We will.

- Bye, guys!

- Bye!

- Let's go play with the dollhouse,

Miss Edna. - It's a deal, come on.

- Should we do this

the old school way?

- Door to door, baby.

- Ha!

I don't think it's gonna rain.

I told you it would rain.

- Yeah.

Hi, I'm Pastor Chris, this is

my wife, Michelle. We're from

Westside Baptist. We're

having service on...

That was fun!

- There's bound to be

at least one family

around here that wants

to greet us!

- Yeah.

Hi, I'm Pastor Chris,

this is my wife

Michelle. We're

from Westside Baptist!

Hi, I'm Chris Samuels,

this is my wife, Michelle.

The new pastor, Westside

Baptist. We're just

in the neighborhood

and we thought that...

Well, that was successful!

- Just means there is

still work to be done.

Alright!

- No.

- What?

- My leg's killing me.

I just... it's just...

it's raining,

can we just... I'm spent.
