“bulletin bloopers” actual mistakes made in actual bulletins:
--The outreach committee has enlisted 25 visitors to make calls on people who are not afflicted with any church.
--Evening massage - 6 PM
--Thursday night - Potluck supper. Prayer and medication to follow.
--The third verse of Blessed Assurance will be sung without musical accomplishment.
--The choir will meet at the Larsen house for fun and sinning.
--Ushers will eat latecomers.

We get so caught up in realizi...
