The things they say

Tom Crosbie (ex SBS) sent me this wonderful set of 'gaffes' and 'double entendres' published in Church bulletins.

They're Back! Those wonderful Church Bulletins!
Thank God for the church ladies with typewriters.
These sentences actually appeared in church
bulletins or were announced at church services:

1. The Fasting & Prayer Conference includes meals.

2. Scouts are saving aluminum cans, bottles and other items to be recycled. Proceeds will be used to cripple children.

3. The sermon this morning: "Jesus Walks on the Water." The sermon tonight: "Searching for Jesus."

4. 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.

5. Don't let worry kill you off - let the Church help.
