Funny Church Bulletin Bloopers


God bless the little old church ladies and their typewriters!
Before the days of computers and spell check, the weekly church bulletin was not only a source of great information but one of hilarious bloopers.
We celebrate the pureness of heart, but we can also giggle at the goofs.

 "Bertha Belch, a missionary from Africa, will be speaking tonight at Calvary Methodist. Come hear Bertha Belch all the way from Africa."

 "The senior choir invites any member of the congregation who enjoys sinning to join the choir. "

 "Next Thursday there will be tryouts for the choir. They need all the help they can get."

 "Applications are now being accepted for 2 year-old nursery workers."

  "The concert held in Fellowship Hall was a great success. Special thanks are due to the minister's daughter, who labored the whole evening at the piano, which as usual fell upon her."

 "The third verse of Blessed Assurance will be sung without musical accomplishment."
