Funny Church Sayings

This was forwarded from my mom from Cheryl Richardson the life coach. Here it is:

In the spirit of summer fun, this week's newsletter comes from an email I
received from my father-in-law, Curt, who loves to send messages that make
me laugh (thanks Curt!). Here are 20 sentences that actually appeared in
church bulletins or were announced during church services. I hope you get
a chuckle out of them, too!



1. The Fasting & Prayer Conference includes meals.

2. The sermon this morning: "Jesus Walks on the Water." The sermon
tonight: Searching for Jesus.

3. 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.

4. The peacemaking meeting scheduled for today has been canceled due to a
conflict.

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

6. Miss Mason sang "I will not pass this way again," giving obvious
pleasure to the congregation.

7. For those of you who have children and don't know it, we have a
nursery downstairs.

8. Next Thursday there will be tryouts for the choir. They need all the
help they can get.

9. 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.

friendship that began in their school days.

Hell?" Come early and listen to our choir practice.

person you want remembered.
