Tuesday Town Hall 23…Great Memories

tues-town-hall-18 Today’s discussion is going to be lighthearted and friendly. I need a break from the heavy lifting.

What is your most memorable experience in a church service?

Please exclude salvation, baptism, and such. We all should remember those and praise God daily for them. I am talking about something out of the ordinary.

What is the funniest thing you ever saw happen in church?

We are human and should be able to laugh, even in church. I believe God laughs at us more than we might imagine.

Please share your stories. I am sure there are many.

Love you all

One hilarious time, in particular, was when I was visiting a church where a friend of ours was the guest preacher. The church had a traditional, larger, wooden pulpit. In fact, our friend preached the majority of his message behind the pulpit. Toward the end of the message (during the portion where he was giving the altar call and pleading with folks to surrender their lives to God), many could not help but see a contrast in colors between his dark grey suit and a bright yellow. Low and behold (pardon the pun) was an open view of the preacher’s Joe Boxer, winking-smiling-face undershorts.

In the midst of the altar service, which was very sincere, I couldn’t help but laugh. At the time, our friend said he did not know what we were laughing about, but afterwards, he had a good ole’ laugh as well.

I am sure watching my husband dance would not count.
Let me get back to you on this one.

My husband, Wayne, had a drug rehab patient that really bonded with him. He had been in prison and was actually one of the meanest people I have ever known. But for some reason, he loved us. Wayne invited him to church. “Johnny” had never been to church before. You might know that we had one of those services where there was no preaching. Just Holy Ghost everywhere, speaking in tounges, etc!

Wayne walked to the parking lot with him after service and was trying to explain what was going on. He asked “Johnny” what he thought about the service. Johnny’s reply was…..”I was very impressed. You remember when that girl fell down in the floor? Well, I watched that preacher the whole time after that and not one time did he ever try to look up her dress.”

I guess some people are just easier to impress than others.

Oh yeah, and once our pastor spit his teeth in the floor while preaching. He was a big guy, so he had to bounce about four times before he could reach them on the floor. He just popped ‘em back in and never missed a word. But the funniest part was when the Youth Pastor reached down to pick them up for him, and realized what they were!

Funniest thing I can think of happened one Sunday when I was giving the children’s sermon. I always had the kids gather up front and talked to them for a second before we dismissed them for children’s church. One morning, I talked to them about understanding when God was speaking to us. I was talking about diffrent “signs” that God gives us, and to illustrate the point I held up diffrent road signs and asked the kids what they meant.

When I held up a Stop sign and asked what it meant, one of the boys said loud and clear, “My daddy says that he doesn’t have to stop at those because he is a corrections officer!”

Needless to say, his dad had some egg on his face after church…

That is not just funny but it is truth.

I was in church the service where the pastor spit out his teeth it was hilarious but the great thing was he didn’t miss a beat.

I remember one time a really long time ago when a particular person was talking about how funny some of his old church friends shouted, you know one looked like a water sprinkler, one looked like a tea pot-tipping over to pour out tea, and one looked like a man swatting a bee, well his story was quite funny and we all took it in–but low and behold two weeks later during a Holy Ghost throw down at church there he was doing all three at different intervals. I noticed him and I learned a very valuable lesson–never mock or make fun of anyone elses shouting ticks because you may very well do them yourself.

Love ya,

Nancy
