A few items from actual Church bulletins or from announcements during services.  (Obtained from the Atherington and High Bickham Parish Magazine)     The Sermon this morning: 'Jesus walks on water'.  The sermon tonight: 'Searching for Jesus'.   Ladies, don't forget the rummage sale.  It's a chance to get rid of those things not worth keeping around the house.  Bring your husbands.   Don't let worry kill you off.  Let the Church help.   Miss Charlotte Mason sang 'I will not pass this way again', giving obvious pleasure to the congregation.   The Rector will preach his farewell message, after which the choir will sing 'Break forth into joy'.         Many thanks to Charles Pearce for this contribution.	Children's Logic!   The children were lined up for lunch in the cafeteria of a Catholic elementary school.  At the end of the table was a large pile of apples.   The nun made a note and placed it on the apple tray: "Take only ONE.  God is watching".   Moving further along the lunch line at the other end of the table was a large pile of chocolate chip cookies.   A child had written a note: "Take all you want.  God is watching the apples!"   Taken from the Newsletter of Oadby Trinity & Great Glen Methodist Churches, Leicestershire.
	A TEACHER was exploring the children's notion of God.  She asked, "Tom, who is God?" Six year old Tommy furrowed his brows and thought for a moment or two about the question.  Suddenly he brightened, and with a smile said: "I think God is the man who saved the Queen".   From Christian Crackers by Phil Mason       And finally from Kevin......   Whilst carrying our some work to the outside of the Church building quite a while ago I was approached by an elderly couple who were on holiday from up North.    They asked various questions about the history of the church buildings and the activities which took place within it.  I opened the front door and allowed them to have a brief look around; they were very impressed with the interior of the church.   Music was something that they were both very much involved in back home.  When I was asked about our own choir I was able to tell them that it consisted of about 'TWENTY ODD PEOPLE!'
