Etta Mae Story on Characterization
by Lynne Gentry
Saturday, September 17, 2011

Rated "G" by the Author.

       


     Meet Etta Mae and Nola Gay Story, head of the welcoming committee at Mt. Hope Community Church.

 Etta Mae Story had a hard time accepting Leona Harper when she first met her. She could tell the moment Leona stepped out of the U-haul that this new preacher's wife didn't know a cumcumber from a zucchini. Myrtle Mahorn, the last pastor's wife, was an accomplished gardner and a very good friend of the Story sisters. The Story Sisters had a choice to make. Whether or not they could shift their loyalty from Myrtle to Leona. 

I've learned that it is just as hard for the congregation to accept a new pastor as it is for the new pastor to adjust to his new congregation. This is especially true if the last pastor had been there a while. Relationships run deep in the church. It takes time for new roots to take hold.

This video is a characters study in those tricky relationships: http://vimeo.com/29075368
