HOLY HUMOUR
Saints gather
For years the small country church reported only 50 people at worship, so the bishop’s office took notice when it suddenly tripled to 150! To find out what they were doing right, the bishop visited one Sunday, only to find the same 50 souls in attendance.
”Have you been inflating your numbers to make your congregation look good?” the bishop asked the pastor.
”Not at all,” the pastor said. “We always say that we gather for worship with all the saints of every time and place. I was just adding a few of them in.”

SUNDAY JOKE
Coffee lady in charge
An insurance agent stopped by a nearby church in hopes of selling some insurance. She greets the head usher at the door and asks to talk to whoever is in charge.
The usher says, “Not me; I only hand out the bulletins. Let me take you to the pastor.”
The insurance agent then asks the pastor if he is in charge. The pastor says, “Not me; I only preach and teach. Let me take you to the council president.”
The insurance agent then asks the council president if she is in charge. ”Not me; I only conduct meetings and hear complaints. Let me take you to the head of the trustees committee.”
The insurance agent then asks the head of the trustees committee if he is in charge. The head of the trustees committee replies, “Not me; I just help take care of the building.”
By this time the insurance agent is quite frustrated and wonders aloud, “well, who IS in charge around here anyway?”
The lady who serves the coffee pipes up and says, “That’s me; NOTHING happens around here until I make the coffee!”
