A Funny Thing

There have been some hilarious things happen during church over the years,
and Mrs. W. and I always have a good chuckle over it.
We seem to have the hardest time during communion.


One of the funniest things was the time our friend decided to drink from the common cup,
the associate pastor spilled the wine/blood down her front.
OMG.
We were nearly hysterical behind our programs.
I have accidentally dropped my wafer into the dipping cup a few too many times.
That is never good.
They have to get a new challis.


Once in the sermon and newsletter,
there was this whole thing about people sitting in the same spot every time.
We felt profiled,
but did not move.
There are worse things we could do.
Besides,
if I can't find my friend,
someone always points where she is.


When the head pastor announced that their would be glutten-free wafers available for those with wheat allergies,
we nearly cracked up.
What?
Glutten free!
The body and blood gluten free.
That amused us.
I remarked to Mrs. W.,
"for those persons taking communion,
please proceed to the perfume free section."
She chimed in,
"those of you wearing those annoying Christmas sweaters go to the following section."
All whispered,
of course.
We do know how to behave in public.


However,
just as she whispered the remark about the sweater,
a lady wearing the most annoying Valentine's sweater walked by.
OMG.
Peels of laughter. . . . . .
and you can't stop when you really get tickled.
