Parish Bulletin Bloopers • During the absence of our pastor, we enjoyed the rare privilege of hearing a good sermon by our substituting priest. • This afternoon there will be a meeting in the north and south ends of the church. Children will be baptized at both ends. • Church sign: “Jesus Saves!” Grocery store sign across the street: “We save you more!”
