I discovered that my post on Church Bulletin Bloopers is one of the most popular posts on this site. I guess that we all need a good laugh once in a while.

The following list of bloopers is was sent to me by email in 1996. I must have liked it, because I added to to my humor archive. The email claimed that these are actual messages taken from church bulletins:

• Don’t let worry kill you- let the church help.
• Thursday night- Potluck Supper. Prayer and medication to follow.
• Remember in prayer the many who are sick of our church and community.
