It is time for a few laughs.
Sometime ago a longtime Union Carbide buddy of mine, also a Methodist Minister, sent me a group of “mistakes” in church bulletins. None from his church I presume!
I have used some “joke” columns for laughter in other papers now and then. Perhaps you Star-Courier readers will enjoy these. Take time out in this hot summer and laugh a little.
Choirs
…The Rector will preach his farewell message after which the choir will sing “Break Forth into Joy.”
…At the evening service tonight, the sermon topic will be “What is Hell?” Come early and hear our choir practice.
…Eight new robes are currently needed, due to the addition of several new members and the deterioration of some older ones.
…Next Thursday there will be tryouts for the choir. They need all the help they can get.
…Miss Charlene Mason sang, “I Will Not Pass This Way Again,” giving obvious pleasure to the congregation.
