'Church' Memories

[DC]

<span style="color: #000099">Any favorite? not so favorite? nostalgic? comedic? memory/moment of your church-going days--wayyyyyy back when for some of you ?</span>

I may have mentioned this already, but church was more of an entertainment for us kids while growing up. My siblings and I consistently entertained our parents when we got home from night services, as we mimicked everyone who was 'getting into the spirit'. My parents found it entertaining and hilarious for awhile, but they probably felt guilty and they did not allowed us to go to night services any more. There goes our entertainment!
We also used to make bets on the hats certain people would wear!
There was one lady we called her the Seven-Stepper. We actually counted her steps. She would make 7 steps then she would dip and shout 'Alleluia', and so she continued. I had this recollection today. It was funny back then, and it's a fond/funny memory today.

Got any to share?

Re: 'Church' Memories

Being born into the church, I have lots...good, bad, ugly and indifferent. Some that makes me others that brings

You know when I look back at the many years growing up in the church, I must praise HIM. It has been a great ride so far...sometimes the road had a few bumps along the way but as I heard my friend preached last night, there are hidden blessings in our storms.

OK...fun silly memory. Going to Baptist Church in my little bush bush. My grandmother would take us all to church whether we liked it or not and that included my brother. The moment my brother got to church, he would fall asleep. Well, is from mi a pickney, mi head a tek mi. Without fail, as soon as my brother fell asleep I would roll up paper, make a cigarette and put it in his mouth. Not so funny now that I'm semi grown up but it was funny back then considering that we sat in the second pew right before the Pastor.

This was scary at the time,but funny shortly after.

Pastor made the kids sit in the front row so they would not misbehave. One hot boring morning one girl fell alseep in the middle of prayer and buck right off the pew, landed on her forehead on the tile floor BADOOOMCRACK.

Re: 'Church' Memories

Not church, but church-related. I went to an Anglican girl's school and the Bishop would come occasionally for our weekly assemblies. Every single time he came, he told us the very same story about a little girl carrying her brother and saying, &quot;he's not heavy, he's my brother.&quot; Needless to say, it long after the popular song, he ain't heavy, had been around. On one occasion the entire school finished his story in unison. He laughed at that. The headmistress was embarrassed.
