In a small church, a new pastor was so nervous during his first sermon that he accidentally called the Virgin Mary 'Mary Poppins'. The congregation was shocked at first but then couldn't help but chuckle. The pastor was really embarrassed but it made for a very funny story in the church's history.
Once, a new choir member got so nervous on their first performance day in church. They were supposed to sing soprano but ended up singing tenor for half of the song until they realized their mistake and turned bright red. Everyone in the church had a good laugh, but also gave them a big round of applause for their courage.
Once, during a church service, the pastor was preaching about Noah's Ark. A little boy in the front row suddenly stood up and asked very loudly, 'Pastor, did Noah have to shovel all the poop?' Everyone burst out laughing.
Once, during a Sunday school play in the church, a little boy was supposed to be an angel. But instead of wearing the white robe gracefully, he tripped on it while walking onto the stage and ended up rolling a bit. Everyone burst into laughter. It was so cute and unexpected.
Once, a little boy in church thought the collection plate was for sharing his toys. So he put his favorite little car in it. Everyone had a good laugh when the pastor found it later.
Here's a joke. A priest was walking down the street one day when he noticed a very small boy trying to press a doorbell on a house across the street. However, the boy was very small and the doorbell was too high for him to reach. After watching the boy's efforts for some time, the priest moved closer to the boy's position. He walked across the street, stepped smartly on to the porch and rang the bell for the boy. Crouching down to the child's level, the priest smiled benevolently and asked, 'And now what, my little man?' To which the boy replied, 'Now we run!'
There was a black church where they had a community event. They organized a cooking competition. But instead of a regular cooking area, they set it up right outside the church. One of the contestants accidentally set off the fire alarm while trying to make a very smoky barbecue. Everyone thought it was part of a newfangled way to call people to the event at first. It was really hilarious.
Sure. Once, in a small country church, the pastor's pet parrot got loose during the service. It flew around squawking Bible verses it had heard the pastor say, causing everyone to burst into laughter.
Once at a church camp, we had a talent show. One kid tried to do a magic trick. He was supposed to make a coin disappear, but instead, he accidentally threw it into the bushes. Everyone started looking for it, and it was chaos. It was really funny.
One funny church split story is about a small church where the choir director and the pastor had a huge disagreement over the type of music to be played during services. The choir director wanted modern music while the pastor was a traditionalist. This led to such a big feud that half the congregation sided with the choir director and the other half with the pastor, and the church ended up splitting into two separate congregations.
Sure. One story is about a little boy in church on Easter. He was so excited about the Easter eggs that during the sermon, he blurted out, 'When do we start hunting eggs?' Everyone had a good laugh.
