No-excuse Sunday

To make it possible for everyone to attend church next Sunday, we are going to have a special 'No-Excuse Sunday'.

  • Cots will be placed in the foyer for those who say, 'Sunday is my only day to sleep in.'

  • There will be a special section with lounge chairs for those who feel that our pews are too hard.

  • Eye drops will be available for those with tired eyes from watching T.V. late Saturday night.

  • We will have steel helmets for those who say, 'The roof would cave in if I ever came to  church.'

  •  Blankets will be furnished for those who think the church is too cold and fans for those who say it is too hot.

  •  Score cards will be available for those who wish to list the hypocrites present.

  •  Relatives and friends will be in attendance for those who can't go to church and cook dinner, too.

  • We will distribute 'Stamp Out Stewardship' buttons for those who feel that church is always asking for money.

  •  One section will be devoted to trees and grass for those who like to seek God in nature.

  • Doctors and nurses will be in attendance for those who plan to be sick on Sunday.

  • The sanctuary will be decorated with both Christmas poinsettias and Easter lilies for  those who never have seen the church without them.

  • We will provide hearing aids for those who can't hear the preacher and cotton for those  who say he is too loud.

  •  And a shot of enthusiasm for those who are just plain apathetic
