Comments from the Congregation

Parishioners hard pressed for something to say to the clergy after the service have, according to one minister’s friend said to him,

• “You always manage to find something to fill up the time.”
• “I don’t care what they say, I like your sermons.”
• “If I’d known you were going to be good today I’d have brought a neighbor.”
• “Did you know there are 243 panes of glass in the windows?”
• “We shouldn’t make you preach so often.”
