Church Bulletins

Church bulletins are interesting animals. Most contain the order of the worship service. Others contain the words (and notes) to certain hymns. But almost all church bulletins contain announcements specifically addressed to the congregation. From time to time, though, you will find typing errors or incorrectly worded sentences within these announcements which result in some very humerous statements!

The following are some announcements which, most likely, should have been stated somewhat differently. They were forwarded to me some years ago and I thought I would share them with you for a good laugh.

Tuesday, at 4:00 p.m., there sill be an ice cream social. All ladies giving milk please come early.

On Sunday, a special collection will be taken to defray the expense of the new carpet. All those wishing to do something on the carpet, please come forward and get a piece of paper.

The ladies of the church have cast off clothing of every kind and they may be seen in the church basement on Friday afternoon.

This being Easter Sunday, we will ask Mrs. Johnson to come forward and lay an egg on the altar.

The services will close with "Little Drops of Water." One of the ladies will begin quietly and the rest of the congregation will join in.

Thursday at 5:00 p.m., there will be a meeting of the Little Mothers Club. All wishing to become Little Mothers, please meet the minister in his study.
