Sometimes the word arrangement in Church Bulletins is humorous. Below are some examples. All are authentic, taken directly from announcements made in various churches.

• This afternoon there will be a meeting in the South and the North ends of the church. Children will be baptised at both ends.
  
  
• Tuesday at 4 PM there will be an Ice Cream Social. All ladies giving milk, please come early.
  
  
• Wednesday, the Ladies Literary Society will meet. Mrs. Johnson will sing "Put me in my little bed" accompanied by the pastor.
  
  
• Thursday at 5 PM there will be a meeting of the Little Mothers Club. All wishing to become Little Mothers will please meet the minister in his study.
  
  
• This being Easter Sunday, we will ask Mrs. Brown to come forward and lay an egg on the altar.
  
  
• The service will close with "Little Drops of Water". One of the men will start quietly and the rest of the congregation will join in.
  
  
• The Ladies of the church have cast off clothing of every kind, and they may be seen in the church basement on Friday afternoon.
  
  
• On Sunday a special collection will be taken to defray the expense of the new carpet. All those wishing to do something on the carpet please come forward to get a piece of paper..
