A choir member once wore two different shoes by mistake to a performance. One was black and the other brown. It was quite noticeable during the whole service. The choir couldn't stop giggling about it after.
A choir member once fell asleep during a long rehearsal. When it was time for his part, he suddenly woke up and started singing the wrong song at first. Everyone was shocked and then burst into laughter.
In a small church choir, the choir director was trying to teach a new song. One of the older members, who was a bit hard of hearing, misheard the tempo instructions. So, when the choir started singing, he was either way too fast or way too slow compared to the others, creating a really comical effect.
I heard about a church where they were doing a play about the nativity scene. One of the donkeys in the play got loose and started running around the pews, chasing the shepherds. It was chaos but also really funny.
One funny story is about a choir that was supposed to sing a very solemn song. But one of the sopranos accidentally let out a really loud sneeze right in the middle of a long, quiet note. It completely changed the mood for a second and everyone had to hold back their laughter. Then there was a choir that had a member who liked to do funny dance moves while singing. At first, it was distracting, but then it became a sort of tradition in the choir, and they would all smile whenever he started his little 'dance routine'.
One funny church Christmas story is about the nativity play. A little boy was cast as Joseph, but he got so excited that he started ad - libbing lines. Instead of saying his scripted lines, he started talking about how he was going to take Mary and baby Jesus to the best pizza place in Bethlehem. Everyone in the church burst out laughing.
A priest once accidentally tripped over the altar cloth while walking towards the pulpit. He managed to catch himself but not before making a very comical face. The whole church burst into laughter.
There was a time when a dog ran into the church during the offering and dropped a bone it was carrying right into the offering plate. Everyone was startled at first but then burst out laughing. It was a very unexpected addition to the offering that day.
There was a church where a visiting singer was performing a very slow and emotional song. However, her long dress got caught in the microphone stand and as she tried to free it, she ended up doing a little dance that was completely out of place for the song. The whole congregation couldn't help but chuckle. It was a very unexpected and comical event. This shows that even in the solemn setting of a church, things can go wrong in a funny way when it comes to music performances.
One time, an usher tried to seat a family in a row that was already full. The family was very polite and just stood there looking confused while the usher kept insisting there was space. Finally, another usher came over and sorted it out. It was really funny seeing the usher's determination that there was space when clearly there wasn't.
At a church wedding, the flower girl got distracted by a butterfly during the ceremony and started chasing it down the aisle, much to the amusement of the guests.
