Time Out
If your Church issues a weekly bulletin be sure you have a good editor! According to Corry's blogger buddy, Pat, "these sentences actually appeared in church bulletins or were announced in church services".
~ The Fasting & Prayer Conference includes meals.
~ The sermon this morning: "Jesus Walks on the Water." The sermon tonight "Searching for Jesus."
~ Our youth basketball team is back in action Wednesday at 8 PM in the recreation hall. Come out and watch us kill Christ the King.
~ Ladies, don't forget the rummage sale. It's a chance to get rid of those things not worth keeping around the house. Don't forget your husbands.
~ The peacemaking meeting scheduled for today has been canceled due to a conflict.
~ Remember in prayer the many who are sick of our community. Smile at someone who is hard to love. Say "Hell" to someone who doesn't care much about you.
~ Don't let worry kill you off - let the Church help.
~ Miss Charlene Mason sang "I will not pass this way again," giving obvious pleasure to the congregation.
~ For those of you who have children and don't know it, we have a nursery downstairs.
~ Next Thursday there will be tryouts for the choir. They need all the help they can get.
~ Barbara remains in the hospital and needs blood donors for more transfusions. She is also having trouble sleeping and requests tapes of Pastor Jack's sermons.
~ The Rector will preach his farewell message after which the choir will sing "Break Forth Into Joy."
~ Irving Benson and Jessie Carter were married on October 24 in the church. So ends a friendship that began in their school days.
~ A bean supper will be held on Tuesday evening in the church hall. Music will follow.
~ At the evening service tonight, the sermon topic will be "What Is Hell?" Come early and listen to our choir practice.
~ Eight new choir robes are currently needed due to the addition of several new members and to the deterioration of some older ones.
~ Scouts are saving aluminum cans, bottles and other items to be recycled. Proceeds will be used to cripple children.
~ Please place your donation in the envelope along with the deceased person you want remembered.
~ The church will host an evening of fine dining, super entertainment and gracious hostility.
~ Potluck supper Sunday at 5:00 PM - prayer and medication to follow.
~ The ladies of the Church have cast off clothing of every kind. They may be seen in the basement on Friday afternoon.
~ This evening at 7 PM there will be a hymn singing in the park across from the Church. Bring a blanket and come prepared to sin.
~ Ladies Bible Study will be held Thursday morning at 10 AM. All ladies are invited to lunch in the Fellowship Hall after the B.S. is done.
~ The pastor would appreciate it if the ladies of the congregation would lend him their electric girdles for the pancake breakfast next Sunday.
~ Low Self Esteem Support Group will meet Thursday at 7 PM. Please use the back door.
~ The eighth-graders will be presenting Shakespeare's Hamlet in the Church basement Friday at 7 PM. The congregation is invited to attend this tragedy.
~ Weight Watchers will meet at 7 PM at the First Presbyterian Church. Please use large double door at the side entrance.
I wonder if there's a similar list somewhere for bloggers. (Thanks Pat!) ;-)

Amusing.
I actually heard a pastor ask people to write their names on his "shine up seat"...
I thought so too Matthew. ;-)
Karen I don't know what's more funny, the slip of the tongue or the straight faced reactions to it. There is a difference between sober and somber right? At any rate I hope they all found the appropriate place to mark their "X". ;-)
Casey,
Didn't you know that the Sunday bulletin at my church is copy-righted material?! :-)
hahaha Mark. I want to go to Church with you! ;-)
Hello. Has it been a while since I have talked to you, or has it just felt that way?
One of the thing's that bother's me the most about blogger's, is their misuse of apostrophe's.
:<}
Dee, I like parts of this answer and parts of this one. If you compile that list please let me know! ;-)
Adam let's just say another day or so and I was going to let the dogs out! Spring break? I'm just glad to hear from you. ;-)
Karen its' good thats' not one of the thing's that keep's me from reading them! Anotehr thing is speeling! Ya now wht I meen? ;-)
I have seen this before Casey!
I do the Sunday bulletin - it is a part of my part-time job at my church. I normally am very good at keeping typos and absurdities out of the bulletin. I made a really embarrassing mistake last summer, though.
:~)
Rose,
please share that mistake, please, please, pretty please!
Rose I'm with Mark. Confession is good for the soul. (hehe)
Very funny! =)
Well, er ... uh ...
I hate to tell it because I am rather picky about spelling. Oh, OK, here goes:
On the fourth of July, on the front of the bulletin - in large letters - I was told to wish everyone a happy day. In huge letters, I misspelled the word "Independence."
"Happy Independance Day!"
Mortifying!
700 bulletins. One man came up to me, and kindly gave me a good way to remember the correct spelling. "Baptists don't dance."
(Embarrassment is good for the soul, too.)
;~)
Kristi just in time! ;-)
haha Rose I don't think that one will make this list but I'm sure your congregation took advantage of the opportunity. So do you feel better now? (hehe)
I really am a terrible speeler. ;-)
HA! Rose misspelled something! I shall never forget this..:-)
So funny =P
Too hilarious!!!!
