07/17/09 Grif.Net – Clowns

Read about a church that put on a circus to attract people and had a clown
“preach”. Here are some reasons we may forgo the trend and not have a clown
preacher:

They force people to smile too early in the morning.

It’s hard to say with dignity, “The sermon today will be given by Brother
Umpa-Doody.”

Whoopee cushions inevitably appear under pew cushions.

Sermons take a lot longer when they are in pantomime.

Many Baptists do not recognize seltzer water baptism as valid.

Dribble glasses used during the communion service could lead to a large
dry-cleaning tab.

We’d have to pay janitors extra to get all of the silly string off the
ceiling.

The kids would pop their balloons during closing prayer.
