Grant me, forbearance Lord
Pastor John and his council president, Mr Segun ended up in a heated argument over a seemingly minor worship detail.
“I suggest we go home and pray to God to grant us peaceful hearts,” said Pastor John as Segun stormed past him into the churchyard.
After worship the next Sunday morning, Segun greeted Pastor John warmly. “I took your advice,” he said. “I went home and said a prayer.”
“Great!” said Pastor John. “So did I! I prayed that God would grant us both peaceful hearts and a fresh start.”
“That’s not what I prayed,” said Segun. “I asked God to help me put up with you.”

When I told the people of Northern Ireland that I was an atheist, a woman in the audience stood up and said, ‘Yes, but is it the God of the Catholics or the God of the Protestants in whom you don’t believe?’ –Quentin Crisp
Sunday Joke
Boring
There will be a meeting of the Church Board immediately after the service,” announced the pastor.
After the close of the service, the Church Board gathered at the back of the sanctuary for the announced meeting. But there was a stranger in their midst — a visitor who had never attended their church before.
“My friend,” said the pastor, “Didn’t you understand that this is a meeting of the Board?”
“Yes,” said the visitor, “and after today’s sermon, I suppose I’m just about as bored as anyone else who came to this meeting.”
