Praying with the Sick

A young boy called the pastor of a local „corner” church to ask the pastor to come by to pray for his mother who had been very ill with the flu. The pastor knew the family and was aware they had been attending another church down the road. So the pastor asked, „Shouldn’t you be asking Brother Simon down the road to come by to pray with your mom?”

The young boy replied, „Yeah, but we didn’t want to take the chance that he might catch whatever it is that Mom has.”

Poor Pastor

A new member of a church is talking to the Pastor: „You have such a small congregation. How can they afford to pay you?”

The Pastor said, „Well, I only earn $60 a week.”

The man is dumbfounded. „Pastor, how in the world can you get by on an amount that small?”

„Well, I tell ya. If I wasn’t such a religious man and didn’t fast three days a week, I’d probably starve to death.”

Church Choir

A man, who couldn’t sing, refused to quit the church choir despite hints that he could serve in other capacities. When the choir director had all he could take, he demanded that the pastor get rid of him. „If you don’t, I’m going to resign and so will the other choir members,” the director said.

When the pastor suggested the man leave the choir, the fellow asked, „Why should I?”

„Well,” said the pastor, „four or five people have told me you can’t sing.”

„That’s nothing,” the man snorted. „Fifty people have told me you can’t preach!”
