All electrons are catholic! It's true, they have mass ...
A survey. Why didn't my Church think of that.
We give them a travel style coffe mug, with our logo on it and a fresh baked loaf of spice cake. And we have parking lot greeters to escort our new vistors into the building. AND we send them a letter a few days later, telling them how special we are.
Now if only our Preacher could get his act together and actually preach an interesting and informed message......oh, yeah?....that is why I stopped going.
Open Hearts, Open Minds, but a Closed Mind in the Pulpit.
another great bumper sticker.
excellent stuff. I think they started this whole trend at Willow Creek.
they didn't give out hugs at your old church, PD?
Hugs are no longer allowed. The Texas Annual Conference of the UMC said, 'cut that out'. Now we take a class called 'Safe Sancturary Training'.
You mean this is not real. Gee WIZ I filled out the visitors survey for nothing. I guess this means I don't get a home visit from a real live man in black. Well it looks like I will have to turn to Brother Copeland to Cash my Contributions.
Lopi - I was holding out for a visit from a real live man in white, myself. Better him than those funny-looking guys who chopped off my friend's head...
I didn't think LDS (mormon) missionaries were aloud to do that anymore.
how do they fit it in the basket?
