We found some dentures on the floor after altar call and no one claimed them after service. So they are on display in the lost and found bin by the greeting counter.
LOL God has a great sense of humor.
What story would you like to share?

Two come to mind:
At a Synod (convention) Mass, I was right in front of the Archbishop in procession (I was the Deacon of the Mass) - - I nodded to the Organist (on a rented keyboard) to turn up the volume for the procession...and the Organist hit the "Rumba/Conga" button instead..."Booom chucka boom chucka boom!"
The other one was when one of our acolytes got into a rolling wrestling fist-fight in the Sanctuary (with his older brother!)...and I had to break it up

In Calvary Chapel Fort Lauderdale, Gayle Erwin cut his Sunday morning 8:30 sermon short, did no altar-call, and left the pulpit with no warning after saying: 'Amen'. Bob Coy, (the senior pastor), was left with 'dead-time' at the pulpit, and had to personally improvise (unrehearsed) before an audience of over 1000 people, until the band could get back to the stage. He did not do so well, and ended up completely rattled. Way to go, Gayle!
(This sermon was not chosen for reproduction...instead, Bob chose the 10:15 sermon, to be copied and distributed.)

I was attending a VERY conservative Protestant church that was renting a hall so there were no pews only chairs for the congregation to sit on.
One of the chairs on which a lady was sitting on collapsed without warning spilling her onto the floor.
One of the deacons tried to assist her to get up but in the process he lost his balance and fell on top of her.
Both of them could see the funny side and got a fit of the giggles that set everyone else off.
It was subsequently rumoured that this church had been struck with the Toronto Blessing and gone charismatic!
It took quite some time to dispel these rumours!
God Bless,
H'chat.

At a friend's wedding, the guys in the wedding party had been hiding the bride's ring from one another all afternoon.
The preacher's line, "in a moment, the couple will exchange rings..." was the cue for the best man to retrieve her ring from the pillow on which it was being held...
Well, one of them had "super glued" the ring so it could not be untied.
90 seconds of silence, except the audience is ROFL...
Then the preacher says, "Well, some time tonight..."
More laughter
They finally got someone's pocket knife and cut the string holding the ring. Then the preacher quipped, "You'd better get started on that other one now."

At the Church we regularly attend we kneel for closing prayer. We were out of town one Sunday and visited a Church.When it came time for closing prayer I knelt while everyone else stood.I used to like to sit toward the front, as I have trouble hearing, that changed. We now sit in the back when visiting.

Our organist has a very heavy hand, and the congregation is obliged to sing at the top of their lungs just to be heard. One morning, after a particularly thunderous hymn, the priest paused to let us all catch our breath and get our ears to stop ringing. Into that moment of deafening silence, a young child not far from me cried, "YAY!!" and started applauding wildly. Suffice to say that poor Father Mark had to pause for a good five minutes more to allow everyone (including himself) to stop laughing and recover their composure. Out of the mouths of babes...

Can't really think of anything funny that happened at my church but when I visited another church, while everyone was singing in worship to God, a man supposedly caught the "holy ghost" or "speaking in tongue" going crazy in the pew between two other people who were trying to get him to calm down. And that went on for like 10 minutes. I thought it was kinda funny because I don't believe in speaking in tongues and anybody who I see doing it is out of their mind!

im responsibly for that actually. I was an altar boy and when trying to light the advent candle one year I nearly set the altar on fire. they make you light it counter clockwise with this really akward and long candle holder. i was almost done when the priest started smacking me. it turned out I had set my vestment sleeve on fire! i took a chop busting over that...
