Funny But True Church Stories

Today my pastor told a funny story I thought I would share and start a thread where you can share your funny but true story as well.

My pastor is in his mid 30's and pastors in the town where he went to College before he was a Christian.

He said that not long ago a woman who is a church member and around his age came to him with this story. She said she had invited a friend with her to church who knew nothing about our church. When they arrived my pastor happened to walk by not too far away and the guest pointed to him and said "ughhh!!! I went to college with him and he is a horrible person!!". The church member who invited her didn't tell her he was the pastor so she only found out after the praise and worship portion of the service was over and the pastor came to the platform to preach. She said the woman's face went white when she saw who was pastor. LOL!!!

By his own admission he was a horrible person when that woman knew him in college and thankfully she was very excited and pleased with what God has done in his life and now actually is a member of our church.

"We did not wear uniforms. The lady workers dressed in the current fashions of the day, ...silks...satins...jewels or whatever they happened to possess. They were very smartly turned out, so that they made an impressive appearance on the streets where a large part of our work was conducted in the early years.

"It was not until long after, when former Holiness preachers had become part of us, that strict plainness of dress began to be taught.

"Although Entire Sanctification was preached at the beginning of the Movement, it was from a Wesleyan viewpoint, and had in it very little of the later Holiness Movement characteristics. Nothing was ever said about apparel, for everyone was so taken up with the Lord that mode of dress seemingly never occurred to any of us."
