They happen — Church Bulletin Bloopers. As much as we try to edit and spellcheck and double check, it happens! And then, that Church Bulletin Blooper is out there. In print. For all to see.
Yes… Someone saw it. Someone told someone else. And someone laughed.
So, we’re here to laugh, too!
If you’ve read a blooper, tell us about it.
If someone told you about a blooper, tell us about it.
If you were the one that caused the blooper, tell us about it.
No judging, just straight up laughter!
Comment below or email your Bulletin Bloopers (with pictures if you have them) to Chasity.Phillips@LifeWay.com. When we get 4-5, we’ll publish for all to see… and laugh together!
Our church’s missions offering campaign is called “Hope for the World”. It used to run for a limited time of 2-3 months at the end of the year. So, in order to publicize the last chance to give to the offering, our bulletin simply said, “Hope for the world ends December 31st.”!
We watch so carefully for typos, but sometimes they make it through.
One Easter Sunday, we had the congregational reading responsively from the resurrection verses typed in the worship folder. When we got to the part of “He is not here, He is risen,” it did not say that. It said, “He is hot here …” Kind of messed up the moment.
The second typo was in the order of worship one Sunday. Instead of listing the invitation song as “White As Snow,” we instead were planning to sing the lesser-known, “White as Snot.”
Our pastor’s sermon title was “Where Have All The Prophets Gone?” The bulletin announced the sermon as “Where Have All The Profits Gone?”
