Singing in church Singing in Church A minister decided to do something a little different one Sunday morning. He said "Today, in church, I am going to say a single word and you are going to help me preach." "Whatever single word I say, I want you to sing whatever hymn that comes to your mind."
The pastor shouted out, "Cross.." Immediately the congregation started singing, in unison, "The Old Rugged Cross."
The pastor hollered out, "Grace." The congregation began to sing "Amazing Grace, how sweet the sound."
The pastor said, "Power." The congregation sang "There is Power in the Blood."
The Pastor said, "Sex." The congregation fell into total silence. Everyone was in shock. Everyone nervously began to look around at each other, afraid to say anything.
Then all of a sudden, 'way from in the back of the church, a little old 87-year-old grandmother stood up and began to sing "Precious Memories."

Overheard in our church one Sunday while the choir was singing "In the Garden" when I came to the phrase..."and He walks with me and He talks with me, And He tells me I am his own..."
A little boy tugged on his momma's shirt, looked up and asked "Who's Andy?"

Boudreaux and Thibodeaux went up front (to town) one Saturday and had quite a bit too much to drink. About dark they decided that they had best sneak home because Marie and Clothilde would be angry.
As they rowed down the Bayou they decided to be very quiet so the girls wouldn't hear them coming.
When they reached Boudreaux's place both gals were waiting on the porch. They were flaming mad! "We heard you coming down dat bayou, all drunk." Marie proclaimed. Boudreaux axed, "how you hear us when we be so quiet and how you know we drunk?"
"Ahhh" said Marie. "You two were quiet, but the mosquitoes were singing, There's Power in the Blood!"
It was not

Poor ole Boudreaux up and died one day. Upon arriving at the gates of Heaven, St. Peter greeted him, "Welcome to Heaven, dere Boudreaux!" Boudreaux exclaimed "Mai, tank ya, cher!" St. Peter explained to ole Boudreaux that there was one stipulation before he was allowed through the gates of Heaven....he had to answer one question and get it right. Boudreaux scratched his head and said, "Mai, ok, cher. What dat be?" St. Peter says "What is God's first name?" Boudreaux answers, "Mai, cher, dat be easy, it's Howard." St. Peter (laughing himself silly) "HOWARD? May I ask you, Boudreaux, how'd you come up with that name?" Boudreaux, smiling proudly, says "Mai cher, dat be an easy one.....Our Fadda who art in Heavin, HOWARD be dy name." St. Peter, still chuckling, says "I can't argue with that one, Boudreaux! Come on in!"

the preacher before passing the basket stated," whoever puts the largest amount in collection today may have the choice of three hymns for the day." after the basket was brought up and looked over it was discovered that a little old lady in the back had deposited a Godly sum.the preacher called her to the front and asked her which hymns she desired. she turned and pointed to the congregation and said," i'd like him, him, and him." hee-hee.(me,too!) fiddles.

My Brother always told of going to a Catholic Church for the first time, Being Baptist, he had never heard latin services. He siad it was a neat church, this guy in robes came out and said I can beat anybody playing dominoes, then the folks upstairs said no you can't beat anybody playing dominoes. then these four guys with baskets on poles came down the aisle taking up the bets. Today is the first anniversary of His Death. Bill, He was always a Joker.
