Newsletter Articles That Didn't Make It

I have been trying to add a little levity to our church newsletter. But sometimes my sarcasm is a bit much and an article doesn't make it past the censor. For example, the following was written in response to my Advent Men's Breakfast Series which died after two weeks for lack of attendance.

ADVENT BREAKFAST A BIG HIT!

Our men’s advent breakfast was a big success. While no men actually came to the breakfast, there was one that would have come had others been coming and one who came the third week after we stopped doing it because no one came the first two weeks. But it was on the calendar for four whole weeks and that was really a spiritual uplift.

So now we are on to the next great men’s event. All men of the church feel free to vote on the event you would most like to see.

Hunting for Jesus- we will go deer hunting in parties of four and while waiting in the blind think about what role Jesus might play in our life.

Sitcoms with the Savior- We will gather in homes to watch tv sitcoms and speculate which characters know Jesus the best.

Simon Peter Says—A fun game in which we think of what we can say that will really tick Jesus off.

Church Scavenger Hunt—in teams of two, men have two hours Sunday morning to see if they can locate the church. Automatic disqualification for finding the E-Free church first. (could also be played with families).

CAN YOU SAY SPIRITUAL REVIVAL!!

Text your vote to xxxxxx. The winner will be announced sometime.

  2. Who doesn't like breakfast?! Maybe you should have advertised in big letters that there would be B-A-C-O-N! I know that would pique my interest.

  4. HAHAHAHAHAHA!!! This is so witty - so true - so sad. I once hosted a first time home buyers' education seminar. Quite bent on saving the world and enlightening one potential home owner at a time. Bought gazillions of dollars of food, set up chairs, bought fabulous door prizes, expected at least 50. Got two. One was the adorable Laura Cook Coomber. "Split the door prizes as you see fit," says I... ;o) Anyhoo, I feel your pain, but I love your ability to laugh at the situation. It brings a large ladle of sunshine into a dreary situation.

  5. And one more thing! LOVED the crack about Peter. The name of my Episcopal parish? St. Peters, of course. The name of our former priest's praise band made up of church employees? How about Staff Infection. I hope you are laughing out loud now...
