Failure to proofread can come back and bite you in the behind. Following are a few actual bloopers as they have appeared in church bulletins.
1. The pastor would appreciate it if the ladies of the congregation would lend him
their electric girdles for pancake breakfast for next Sunday.
2. The 'Over 60's Choir' will be disbanded for the summer with the thanks of the entire
church.
3. Missionary from Africa speaking at Calvary Memorial Church in Racine.
Name: Bertha Belch. Hear Bertha Belch all the way from Africa.
4. Don't let worry kill you off --let the church help.
5. Low-esteem Support Group will meet Thursday at 7 PM. Please use the back door.
6. For those of you who have children and don't know it, we have a nursery downstairs.
7. Next Thursday there will be tryouts for the choir. They need all the help they can get.
8. Eight new choir robes are currently needed due to the addition of several new
members and to the deterioration of some older ones.
9. Remember in prayer the many who are sick of our church and community. Say 'HELL'
to someone who doesn't care much about you.
10. During the absence of our pastor we enjoyed the rare privilege of hearing a good
sermon, when J.F. Stubbs supplied our pulpit.
11. Due to the rector's illness, Wednesday's healing services will be discontinued until
further notice.

13. Diana and Don request your presents at their wedding.
14. This being Easter Sunday, we will ask Mrs. Smith to come forward and lay an egg
on the alter.
15. The service will close with "Little Drops of Water." One of the ladies will start
quietly and the rest of the congregation will join in.
16. Miss Charlene Mason sang, "I Will Not Pass This Way Again," giving obvious
pleasure to the congregation.
17. Weight Watchers will meet at 7 PM at the First Presbyterian Church. Please us the
large double door at the side entrance.
18. (The best for last)
The ladies of the church have cast off clothing of every kind and they may be seen
in the church basement Friday.
(I'm wondering if there was a traffic jam around the church!?)
