What's the funniest thing you've ever seen while attending a church service?

Question

Years ago, at a church I used to attend, the pastor's wife was walking down the main aisle right before chirch started, and her half-slip suddenly fell down around her ankles. She stepped out of it, bent over and picked it up, and kept walking as if nothing had happened.....

Answer 1

my pastor rollin on the floor pretending to be thirsty and in the desert with moses

Answer 2

When I was about 10 my older sister had her confirmation at our local church. I was never really into church, and my Dad's an atheist, so we were having a real hard time being sensible. I managed to hold it together until the part of the service where the vicar (priest, whatever....) puts his hand on the head of the person that he's confirming. He started with the words 'I lay my hand upon your head...' and my dad, quite childishly it has to be said, leaned down towards my ear and whispered '...and another hundred fleas are dead'. Being only ten, I fell into fits of giggles, which set my dad off, and my mum asked us both to either sit at the back and shut up, or go home.
Can I just say that, now that I have grown up, I do understand now how disrespectful we were being, but it was bloody funny at the time.

Answer 3

When I was a kid our dog followed the family to church one Sunday. Well the mass started (a capacity crowd that day) and in comes this little hound searching all through the isles for us. My mother was affronted and told us to ignore him in the hope that he would go away. Unfortunately a kind neighbour recognised our dog and directed him to us. You know how dogs get if you haven't seen each other for a while? Well this was like that x10 My mother was inconsolable. It didn't help the priest at the time was a bit of a Nazi.

Answer 4

The finniest thing I've seen at church is the "holier than thou" attitude of those supposed to be in leadership.
There was a pastor once in a service I was in, who from behind the pulpit told the congregation that he was looking to purchase a clock from an auctioneer.. it was an old clock and valuable.Being a collector asked him if he knew its value, and this pastor leaned on the pulpit and told us, "I wasn't going to tell him... I wanted to buy it. I got a deal on that clock."
Isn't it funny that THIS what I remember rather than the stuff I am "supposed to"

Answer 5

At my old church, on first Sundays we would do a bible quest and who ever found the scripture won money. Well this particular Sunday a little boy won. He strutted up the church aisle and said show me the money, baby bay bay. His mom was embarrassed. To make it worse he was doing some weird dance when he went back to sit down.The whole church was laughing.

Answer 6

I'm sorry to say that I don't attend church much at all, but one of the few times I did, my ex father-in-law fell asleep during a X-mas mass and started snoring. We had to wake him up and sneak out during a hymn. How embarassing!
Remember the old Chinese proverb:
Man who fart in church sit in own pew.

Answer 7

I was sitting in the back of this girl that kept messing with her hair and then she pulled on it too hard and the bottom extension came out. She just pulled it down hoping no one saw it but I sitting right behind her. And she said that was her real hair. Puleeze

fixen to led us in Praise & worship songs, as she was speaking, a small lil bug landed in her hair, she went crazy...HaHa..but the funny thing was, she couldn't be still long enough for us to get it out...Our Pastor thought she was
hit by the Holy Spirit. They are awesome people.

Answer 9

I saw people talking in tongues and jumping and shaking around, in a Holyness chuch I visited one time. That was pretty humorous.

When I was an alter boy(can you believe that?), I had seen the priest fall asleep while someone else gave the sermon.
