Welcome to the "Joke Box"

• Why wouldn’t Pharoah let the Hebrews go? He was in de-Nile.

• Why is Swiss considered the most religious type of cheese? Because it’s hole-y.

• What’s a Christian’s favorite shot? Holy water.

• How many Christians does it take to change a light bulb? We don’t know. They are still standing in a circle praying for the light to come back on.

• A cheating painting contractor had been skimping by thinning his paint excessively. Nevertheless, he landed a big job painting a church. He was almost done when a major storm blew up. It washed all the paint off. Amid the thunder and lightning, there came a loud voice… “REPAINT,” it boomed. “REPAINT, AND THIN NO MORE!”

Christian Cartoon

Church Bulletin Bloopers

• A worm welcome to all who have come today.

• Don’t miss this Saturday’s exhibit by Christian Martian Arts.

• We have received word of the sudden passing of Rev. Smith this morning during the worship service. Now let’s sing “Praise God from Whom All Blessings Flow.”

• Glory of God to all and peas to his people on earth.



• Next Friday we will be serving hot gods for lunch.
