The Dead Church - A new Pastor in a small Oklahoma town spent the first four days making personal visits to each of the

members, inviting them to come to his first services.

The following Sunday the church was all but empty. Accordingly, the Pastor placed a notice in the local

newspapers, stating that, because the church was dead, it was everyone's duty to give it a decent

Christian burial. The funeral would be held the following Sunday afternoon, the notice said.

Morbidly curious, a large crowd turned out for the "funeral." In front of the pulpit, they saw a closed

coffin, smothered in flowers. After the Pastor delivered the eulogy, he opened the coffin and invited his

congregation to come forward and pay their final respects to their dead church.

Filled with curiosity as to what would represent the corpse of a "dead church," all the people eagerly

lined up to look in the coffin. Each "mourner" peeped into the coffin then quickly turned away with a

guilty, sheepish look.

In the coffin, tilted at the correct angle, was a large mirror.

Three Hymns - One Sunday a pastor told his congregation that the church needed some extra money and asked the

people to prayerfully consider giving a little extra in the offering plate. He said that whoever gave the

most would be able to pick out three hymns.

After the offering plates were passed, the pastor glanced down and noticed that someone had placed a

$1,000 bill in offering. He was so excited that he immediately shared his joy with his congregation and

said he'd like to personally thank the person who placed the money in the plate.

So he ask for the person who gave to raise his/her hand. And there sat all the way in the back of the church, one of the mothers of the church, an 85 year old faithful servant our Sister Rosie shyly raised her hand. The pastor asked her to come down to the front. Slowly she made her way to the pastor. He told her how wonderful it was that she gave so

much and in thanksgiving asked her to pick out three hymns.

Her eyes brightened with a big smile on her face as she looked over the congregation, pointed to the three most handsome young men in the church, one in the choir, one on the deacon board, and an usher and said, "I'll take him and him and him!"
