Buhhh.... Did NOBODY explain to these poor, innocent souls how their congregation's new chosen name might be misinterpreted by us filthy-minded muggles worldly types?
The Monday night Pastor’s class will
meet for three weeks—July 9, 16, and
23—at 6:30 pm in the River Room,
where we will be studying the challenging
book of Second Peter.
Sipping Vodka
A new priest at his first mass was so nervous he could hardly speak. After mass he asked the monsignor how he had done. The monsignor replied, "When I am worried about getting nervous on the pulpit, I put a glass of vodka next to the water glass. If I start to get nervous, I take a sip."
So next Sunday he took the monsignor's advice. At the beginning of the sermon, he got nervous and took a drink. He proceeded to talk up
a storm. Upon his return to his office after mass, he found the following note on the door:
1. Sip the Vodka, don't gulp.
2. There are 10 commandments, not 12.
3. There are 12 disciples, not 10.
4. Jesus was consecrated, not constipated.
5. Jacob wagered his donkey, he did not bet his @ss.
6. We do not refer to Jesus Christ as "the late J. C."
7. The Father, Son, and Holy Ghost are not referred to as Daddy, Junior and the Spook.
8. David slew Goliath, he did not kick the sh!t out of him.
9. When David was hit by a rock and was knocked off his donkey, don't say he was stoned off his @ss.
10. We do not refer to the cross as the "Big T."
11. When Jesus broke the bread at the Last Supper he said, "Take this and eat it for it is my body." He did not say "eat me"
12. The Virgin Mary is not called "Mary with the Cherry,"
13. The recommended grace before a meal is not: Rub-A-Dub-Dub thanks for the grub, yeah God. 14. Next Sunday there will be a taffy pulling contest at St. Peter's, not a peter pulling contest at St. Taffy's.
While I'm waiting for a ride on fivver's rocket sled-
Two nuns were riding bikes thru the old section of town. They were lost and it was getting dark. One of them was worried and said to the other, "I've never come this way before."
The other one nodded and said, "It's the cobblestones."
Seems like I heard somewhere of a tongue-tied preacher (in real life) who told the guests at a wedding that they were invited to join in on the "conception" that would immediately follow the ceremony...

(I'm guessing they must offer childcare, in order to pull that off. It's hard to arrange, otherwise.)

no thanks, i'll stick to the handbasket and enjoy the nice leisurely ride.

Many a religious ecstasy, and multiple conversions of mystical illusions, have happened due to the sight of the Church of the Big Wood.
That guy in the Da Vinci Code wrote all about it.
Nevertheless, no one ever built a church on any spot that I experienced.
Dave, once again, proves he is very special.

I'm in the middle of plannning a wedding. I can see the invitations now:
Ceremony: Church of the Big Wood at sex
Conception to follow
Honeymoon will be spent fervently studying the big wood.

And lo, I consecrate myself unto thee, O Big Wood.
