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:
