The Rector will preach his farewell message after which the choir

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, and hopefully they will respond.

Don't let worry kill you - let the Church help.

Pretty good though!

Those were great! I copied them down and sent them to a friend of mine who's a church organist in Iowa. He loved them and showed serveral of his friends even the associate pastor got a kick out of them! We've had a few classics over the years at our church some of them were said not printed but they were on the radio!
Once was a soft spoken southern accent pastor who was trying top convey that when you give money during the offering collection it is very quiet and giving money to those in need is how our church shows it's love. But it came out"Here at First church we tend to make love quietly!;) Just then my friend laughed so hard he dropped the large metal offering bowl which banged on the floor, rolled,crashed into a wooden pew and spun like a quarter on a table on the concrete floor! Causing everyone who was trying to control their laughter to loose it!So much for QUIETLY!
Another time a pastor was talking about the last supper and he said"And when Jesus and all his disciples had been drunken by the wine...!:goofy:
Still another time time concerned my friend who was guest organist and a vocalist named Marsha The bulletin read:"Come an see Carl's organ playing with Marsha and her her sing His praises":D
And lastly, a young associate pastor called all the little children up front to tell them a story about the Dead Sea. He was tring to say that the salt is so strong no plants or animals can live there. But , it came out"The Dead Sea has so much salt in it that no living orgasms can survieve there":eek:
We Methodist know how to party!:lol: :lol: :lol:

COOL BREEZE

"Did you here about the streaker who ran through the church?"
"They caught him by the organ!":vibrator:
