Today is the 100 year anniversary for our church. All the old members were invited. Many of the past pastors and their families also attended. Our normal service normal sees about sixty people. Today saw much closer to two hundred. It was very cool. I was to be at work at 9am. I asked to go in late so that I could go to church this morning. My boss said ok, but he sure gave me a hard time about it when I got there close to 1pm today.
One of the funniest things happened in church this morning. When the pastor told everyone to turn to #743 in the hymnal, and the organ started playing. Then he corrected himself and said to turn to #209. With the organ still playing the into, he leaned into the mic and told us it was supposed to be #759. One of the guest speakers from behind him whispered in the Pastor's ear. "#243". Now you could hear some giggling come from the pews. Finally, the Pastor put his hands up and stopped the music. "Everyone turn to #709." The music started again. The pastor pointed to the guest speaker behind him, "He has the wrong hymnal!" Much laughter now. A lovely lady from the choir reached over and gave our guest her hymnal.
