Ecclesiastical Humor

Time to lighten the mood...

From our friend and brother, Scripture Searcher:

No Christian expositor of the Bible, ministering in these wild, weird, and wacky
times, has much time in any sermon for humor, but woe be unto any of us
when we cannot find room in our lives (and sermons) for
a little of the light stuff....

Don't Miss Church

It was Palm Sunday and, because of a sore throat, five-year-old Johnnystayed home from church with a sitter. When the family returned home,they were carrying several palm branches. The boy asked what
they were for. "People held them over
Jesus' head as he walked by."

"Wouldn't you know it, " the boy fumed,
"the one Sunday I don't go,
He shows up!"

Too Much Television

One Easter Sunday morning as the minister was preaching the children'ssermon, he reached into his bag of props and pulled out an egg. Hepointed at the egg and asked the children, "What's in Here?"

"I know, I know" a little boy exclaimed..."Pantyhose!"

A Holiday for Everyone

An atheist complained to a friend, "Christians have their specialholidays, such as Christmas and Easter. And Jews celebrate theirholidays, such as Passover and Yom Kippur. Muslims have theirholidays, too. Every religion has holidays to celebrate. But weatheists," he said, "have no recognized national holiday.
It's an unfair discrimination"

His friend replied..."Well, why don't you celebrate
April 1st?"

Squirrel Problem

A small town had three churches; Presbyterian, Methodist, and Baptist.All three had a serious problem with squirrels in the church. Eachchurch in its own fashion had a meeting to deal
with the squirrel problem.

The Presbyterians decided that it was predestined that squirrels be inthe church and that they would just have to live with them.

The Methodists decided they should deal with the squirrels lovingly inthe style of Charles Wesley. They humanely trapped them
and released them in a park at the edge of town.

Within 3 days, they were all back in the church.

The Baptists had the best solution. They voted the squirrels in as members. Now they only see them at Christmas and Easter.
