Bulletin Bloopers

Every so often someone sends me some funny bulletin bloopers that have actually appeared in church bulletins over the years. e.g., The peacemaking meeting scheduled for today has been cancelled due to a conflict.

Or, Next Thursday there will be tryouts for the choir. They need all the help they can get. Or, Don't let worry kill you off - let the Church help.

This week when I returned to the church office, I realized that there had been a bulletin blooper of our own.  The bulletin looked fine, but if you actually read it, you may have noticed that all of the prayer requests were the same as the previous week!  And there were a number of announcements about our Volleyball group, Childsafe, etc. that simply didn't make it in.

I hasten to add that none of this was the fault of our very competent church secretary who was unfortunately off sick on Thursday and Friday--and since I was already on my way to Victoria on the Friday as well, I wasn't able to look over the bulletin as usual before it was printed, so our temporary office help went ahead on her own as best she could and somehow skipped over all of my new announcements.

Fortunately though, Roberta is back in the office now and so am I, so stay tuned, and you'll see those announcements this coming Sunday!
