Past Events/News and Notes
Tuesday, June 2, 7:30. Met at Gayle's house. Shared joys and concerns, discussed future plans (in particular, summer schedule), set near-future plans and for program, shared how each of our families plans to spend our summer. The consensus seemed to be "cost effective" vacationing, with many of us staying close to home. In attendance: Jane (HAPPY BIRTHDAY), Sue, Kathy, Gayle, Laura, and Evol. Our collection tonight was new/gently used boy's clothing for 180 Turning Lives around (not sure how much; several bags of clothing collected; some dropped off earlier).
Tuesday, May 5, 7:30. Met at Evol's. Maria led a discussion on issues of concern to women and families, with information about Monmouth County's program. In attendance: Evol, Sue, Suzanne, Maria, Gayle, Kathy, Nancy, Jane and Laura. Mission activity: We collected nine used cell phones (with chargers) to be used for domestic abuse situations (cell phones can dial 9-1-1 even when not activated). We also shared joys/concern and prayer, conducted regular business (reports) and set summer meeting schedule.

Faithfully Humorous!
Thanks to Evol for sharing the following:
It was Palm Sunday, and because of a sore throat,five year old Billy stayed home from Church with a sitter. When his family returned home they were carrying several palm branches. Billy asked what they were for. His parents replied, "People held them over Jesus' head as He walked by."
"Wouldn't you know it!" Billy fumed, "The one Sunday I don't go to Church, HE showed up!"
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
One Easter Sunday as the Minister was preaching the Children's Sermon, he reached into his bag of props and pulled out an egg. He pointed at the egg and asked the children, "What's in here?" “I know!” a little boy exclaimed, "Pantyhose!"
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Little Johnny asked his Grandma how old she was. Grandma answered,"39 and holding." Johnny thought for a moment, and then said, "And how old would you be if you let go?"
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
A little boy was in a relative's wedding. As he was going down the aisle, he would take two steps, stop, and turn to the crowd. While facing the crowd, he would put his hands up like claws and roar. So it went, step, ROAR, step, ROAR, step, ROAR, all the way down the aisle. As you can imagine, the crowd was near tears from laughing so hard by the time he reached the pulpit. When asked what he was doing, the child sniffed and said, "I was being the Ring Bear."
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
One Sunday in a Midwest city, a young child was "acting up" during the morning worship hour. The parents did their best to maintain some sense of order in the pew but were losing the battle. Finally, the father picked the little fellow up and walked sternly up the aisle on his way out. Just before reaching the safety of the foyer, the little one called loudly to the congregation, "Pray for me! Pray for me!"
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
One particular four-year-old prayed, "And forgive us our trash baskets as we forgive those who put trash in our baskets."
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
A little boy was overheard praying: "Lord, if you can’t make me a better boy, don't worry about it. I'm having a real good time like I am.”
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
A Sunday school teacher asked her little children, as they were on the way to church service, "And why is it necessary to be quiet in church?" One bright little girl replied, "Because people are sleeping."
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
A little boy opened the big and old family Bible with fascination, looking at the old pages as he turned them. Then something fell out of the Bible. He picked it up and looked at it closely. It was an old leaf from a tree that has been pressed in between the pages. "Mama, look what I found," the boy called out ."What have you got there, dear?" his mother asked. With astonishment in the young boy's voice, he answered, "It's Adam's suit.”
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
The preacher was wired for sound with a lapel mike, and as he preached, he moved briskly about the platform, jerking the mike cord as he went. Then he moved to one side, getting wound up in the cord and nearly tripping before jerking it again. After several circles and jerks, a little girl in the third pew leaned toward her mother and whispered, "If he gets loose, will he hurt us?”
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Six-year old Angie, and her four-year old brother, Joel, were sitting together in church. Joel giggled, sang and talked out loud. Finally, his big sister had enough. "You're not supposed to talk out loud in church." "Why? Who's going to stop me?" Joel asked. Angie pointed to the back of the church and said, "See those two men standing by the door? They're hushers."
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
My grandson was visiting one day when he asked, "Grandma, do you know how you and God are alike?" I mentally polished my halo, while I asked, “No, how are we alike?" "You're both old," he replied.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
A ten-year old, under the tutelage of her grandmother, was becoming quite knowledgeable about the Bible. Then, one day, she floored her grandmother by asking, "Which Virgin was the mother of Jesus? The Virgin Mary or the King James Virgin?"
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
A Sunday school class was studying the Ten Commandments. They were ready to discuss the last one. The teacher asked if anyone could tell her what it was. Susie raised her hand, stood tall, and quoted, "Thou shall not take the covers off the neighbor's wife."
