Monday Funnies

We haven't had a whole lot to laugh about lately in our world, so I think it high time to provide some funnies at the expense of the Church. These have floated around the internet for awhile, so forgive me if you've heard them before. These items all come from real church bulletins, and they still crack a smile with me. The cartoon is by the incomparable Anglican lampoonist, David Walker (we need more of him on this page). Enjoy the Monday funnies:

MONDAY FUNNIES
The Fasting & Prayer Conference includes meals.

The sermon this morning: 'Jesus Walks on the Water.' The sermon

Ladies, don't forget the rummage sale. It's a chance to get rid of
those things not worth keeping around the house. Bring your husbands.
--------------------------
Remember in prayer the many who are sick of our community. Smile at

much about you.
