∇Young Priest Tries A
New Religious Approach
Father Brian, an elderly Catholic priest, was speaking to Father Karl, a
younger priest, saying, 'You had a good idea to replace the first four pews
with plush bucket theatre seats. It worked like a charm. The front of the
church always fills first now.'
Father Karl nods, and the old priest continues, 'And you told me adding a
little more beat to the music would bring young people back to church, so I
supported you when you brought in that rock 'n' roll gospel choir. Now our
services are consistently packed to the rafters.'
'Thank you, Father Brian,' answers the young priest. 'I am pleased that
you are open to the new ideas of youth.'
'All of these ideas have been well and good,' comments Father Brian
wisely. But I'm afraid you've gone too far with the drive-thru
confessional.'
'But, Father Brian,' protests the young Father Karl, 'My confessions have
nearly doubled since I began that!' 
Missed Collection
Henry Marks, a collector of rare books ran into an acquaintance, Arnold, who told him he had just thrown away an old Bible that he found in a dusty, old box. He happened to mention that Guten-somebody-or-other had printed it. 'Not Gutenberg?' gasped Henry. 'Yes, that was it,' remembered Arnold. 'You idiot' Henry exploded, 'You've thrown away one of the first books ever printed. A copy recently sold at auction for half a million dollars.'

Miraculous Journeys
Tricky manoeuvre Mrs Marble, a Sunday School teacher was describing that when Lot's wife looked back at Sodom she turned into a pillar of salt, when little Percy interrupted. 'My mummy looked back once while she was driving,' he announced, 'and she turned into a telephone pole.'Vicars Ride Again
A narrow escape
The Reverend Douglas Johnston was not the best of drivers. One Sunday he was driving home from church when unfortunately, he had a minor bump with cyclist. The poor man was knocked off his bike
into the ditch. The Vicar naturally stopped his car, got out and profusely apologised and gave the cyclist his calling card
saying that if he could ever be of help, then the man should not hesitate to ask.
As the man rode home he looked at the card which said, 'The Reverend Douglas Johnston is sorry he missed you today.'
The Highest Power
Carolyn Heap, another Sunday School teacher, said to her children, 'We have been learning about how powerful the kings and queens were in Biblical times. But there is a higher power. Who can tell me what it is?' George blurted out, 'I know, Aces.' Footnote: It's amazing with humor how one joke reminds you of another ....Evensong With a Funny Twist
It was an evening church service at St Mark's in the small quiet town of Orson, Maryland, USA, and old Deacon Carrick seemed to be sleeping as he occupied one of the back pews. In those bygone days, some of the cardinal sins were: chewing tobacco, drinking liquor and playing cards. The message had already been preached, and the reverend was winding up the service.
Head Scratcher?
Young Mia came home from Sunday School and told her mother that she had
learned a new song about a cross-eyed bear named "Gladly". It took her
mother a while before she realised that the hymn was really "Gladly The
Cross I'd Bear."
Something Missing - Missing Something?
Going over our church finances I found a receipt from a local paint store signed by someone named Christian. I wasn't aware of anyone buying paint, so I called the store to point out its mistake 'I'm sorry,' I told the manager, 'but there are no Christians here at St Mary's Church.'Poor Sick Boy
Marty, a little boy, was in church one Sunday with his mother Doris, when he started feeling sick. 'Mummy,' he inquired, 'can we leave now?' 'No,' his mother replied, 'the service isn't over yet.' 'Well, I think I'm about to throw up.' Marty announced. 'Then go out of the front door and around to the back of the church and throw up behind a bush.' said Doris. After about sixty seconds, Marty returned to his pew, alongside his mother. 'Did you throw up?' Marty's Mum asked quietly. 'Yes,' Marty answered, embarrassed. 'How could you have gone all the way to the back of the church and returned so quickly?' Doris demanded. 'I didn't have to go out of the church, Mummy. They have a box next to the front door that says, "For the Sick" '.The Long And Short of
Sunday Sermons
Cowboy Relates To Sermon
One Sunday a cowboy went to church. When he entered, he saw that he and the preacher were the only ones present. The preacher asked the cowboy if he wanted him to go ahead and preach. The cowboy said, 'I'm not too smart, but if I went to feed my cattle and only one showed up, I'd feed him.' So the minister began his sermon. One hour passed, then two hours, then two-and-a-half hours. The preacher finally finished and came down to ask the cowboy how he liked the sermon. The cowboy answered slowly, 'Well, I'm not very smart, but if I went to feed my cattle and only one showed up, I sure wouldn't feed him all the hay.'Long Sermon
Bunny, a pastor, known for his lengthy sermons, noticed Ralph get up and leave during the middle of his message. He returned just before the conclusion of the service. Afterwards Bunny asked Ralph where he had gone. 'I went to get a haircut,' was the reply. 'But,' said Bunny the pastor, 'Why didn't you do that before the service?' 'Because,' Ralph said, 'I didn't need one then.'What Price a Sermon?
One beautiful Sunday morning, Reverend Barnard announces to his congregation,
'My good people, I have here in my hands three sermons......
A $100 sermon that lasts five minutes
A $50 sermon that lasts
fifteen minutes
And a $20 sermon that lasts a full hour.
Now, we'll take the collection and see which one I'll deliver.'

God, give me sympathy and common sense, And help me home with courage high. God, give me calm and confidence And please - a twinkle in my eye.Mischief
An exasperated mother, whose son was always getting into mischief, finally asked him, 'How do you expect to get into Heaven?' The boy thought it over and said, 'Well, I'll run in and out and in and out and keep slamming the door until St. Peter says, 'For Heaven's sake, Jack, come in or stay out.'
