Pulpit Bloopers

From Mike's Funnies:

NEW APOSTLE'S CREED
Our pastor is a strong personality, but even she has her moments...One Sunday during the worship service, following a number of additions and corrections to our announcements, we finally got to the Apostle's Creed. Everything was fine until we reached the part about how Jesus was..."confused by the Holy Ghost, born of the Virgin Mary..." Poor Rev. Doriani was aghast! Afterwards, she whispered (into her microphone) "What did I say? I didn't say what I think I just said, did I?"

WIFE OF THE MONTH
At our church, the "deacons of the month" stand next to the pastor at the front door and greet people as they leave. One Sunday my husband, the associate pastor, was filling in for the pastor. At the close of the service he announced, "Will the deacons and my wife of the month please join me at the front door." Everyone laughed and wondered who would be his "wife of the month" the following month!

ANGELS ON HIGH
One Sunday our music director very clearly announced, "Our next song is "Angels We Have Heard Get High." He did get the page number correct in spite of the laughter rolling through the congregation.

A personal favorite of mine is from years ago when a youth group was having a small group time. The kids had been asking about different denominational doctrines when one asked about the Eucharist. Our youth pastor at the time began by saying, "The Holy Uterus ..." Hilarious!

But, my favorite pulpit blooper is one I'm not "allowed" to post...you did see that link I snuck in there, didn't you?
