Lutheran Laughables

I have to share some common facts (?) that were printed in the monthly newsletter from my home town church, Zion Lutheran Church, in McGregor, ND. If you happen to be a fellow Lutheran, you will understand just how comical this is! I sat and giggled as I read it. It brings back memories of the days when I still attended church in McGregor and helped my own Mom get the communion ready for the services. Nothing was locked up!

You know you're Lutheran when.....

• ..... it's 100*, with 90% humidity, and you still have coffee after the service.
• ..... you hear something really funny during the sermon and smile as loudly as you can.
• .... donuts are a line item in the church budget, just like coffee.
• ..... the communion cabinet is open to all, but the coffee cabinet is locked up tight.
• ..... all your relatives graduated from a school with "Concordia" in the name.
• .... when you watch a "Star Wars" movie and they say, "may the force be with you" and you respond, " and also with you."
• ....it takes ten minutes to say good-bye!

Does some of this sound familiar? ;)
