Whoops!

“You might be United Methodist if your Bible still has the cellophane wrapper on it!” (source)

The joke is true! Today the liturgist was leading the lectionary reading, and for 1 Corinthians 12:1-11 she read 2 Corinthians 12:1-11 instead! And no one else in the congregation seemed to notice the goof (I was sitting in the last pew so I had a good view of the others).

At least the pew bibles are as neat and clean as the day my mother donated them to the church. :p

  1. Oh dear. I've actually seen this kind of thing happen before in a UMC.

  2. I read the two passages and was laughing out loud, not that 2 corinthians 12 is outrageous, but that it is so very different from the intended reading. Very funny.

  3. Indeed, it was a jarring experience to be reading the intended passage and hearing something completely different. I was looking left and right to see if anyone else noticed it, but alas they're all either in a state of utter bliss upon hearing the words of god, or are just bored stiff.
