Church Joke
-
My wife sent this joke to our pastor yesterday. I think his reply to the joke is just as funny as the joke itself.
Joke:
*One Sunday morning, the pastor noticed little Alex standing in the foyer
of the church staring up at a large plaque. It was covered with names
and small American flags mounted on either side of it. The six- year old
had been staring at the plaque for some time, so the pastor walked up,
stood beside the little boy, and said quietly;"Good morning, Alex."
"Good morning Pastor," he replied, still focused on the plaque.
"Pastor, what is this?"
The pastor said, "Well son, it's a memorial to all the young men and
women who died in the service."Soberly, they just stood together, staring at the large plaque. Finally,
little Alex's voice, barely audible and trembling with fear asked;"Which service, the 8:30 or the 10:30?"*
Our Pastor's reply:
I can understand the child’s confusion! I have died in a few services myself…..some of which I was doing the preaching!

Two boys were known in their town for being badly behaved, if there was any trouble in the town it was normally one of these two boys.
Finally the mother of one of these wayward lads hears that a pastor in the neighbouring town has had a lot of success with this sort of situation.
So she arranges for both of the boys to have a chat with the pastor.
The first boy enters the church office and sits down on a uncomfortable chair in front of a large oak desk.
The pastor looks at the boy and asks in a loud booming voice
"Son, do you know where God is?"
The boy's face drops but he doesn't answer.
The pastor repeats the question but with more force.
"Son, do you know where God is?"
The boy begins to shake and his eyes begin to fill with tears but still no answer came for him.
The pastor pulls closer to the boys and repeats the question.
"Son, do you know where God is?"
This is to much for the child, he leaps up in floods of tears and runs out of the church only stopping to by his partner in crime.
He splutters out in between his sobs
"I think we’re in real trouble this time. God has gone missing and they think we've done it!"
