[Humor] De-Lighted

THE LIGHT OF THE WORLDHow many people does it take to change light bulbs in the church? It all depends on what church you are at!• Charismatic: Only 1 – Hands are already in the air.• Pentecostal: 10 – One to change the bulb, and nine to pray against the spirit of darkness.• Presbyterians: None – Lights will go on and off at predestined times.• Baptists: At least 15 – One to change the light bulb, and three committees to approve the change and decide who brings the potato salad and fried chicken.• Episcopalians: 3 – One to call the electrician, one to mix the drinks, and one to talk about how much better the old one was.• Unitarians: We choose not to make a statement either in favor of or against the need for a light bulb. However, if in your own journey you have found that light bulbs work for you, you are invited to write a poem or compose a modern dance about your light bulb for the next Sunday service, in which we will explore a number of light bulb traditions, including incandescent, fluorescent, 3-way, long-life and tinted, all of which are equally valid paths to luminescence.• Methodists: Undetermined – Whether your light is bright, dull, or completely out, you are loved. You can be a light bulb, turnip bulb, or tulip bulb. Bring a bulb of your choice to the Sunday lighting service and a covered dish to pass.• Nazarene: 6 – One woman to replace the bulb while five men review church lighting policy.• Lutherans: None – Lutherans don’t believe in change.• Amish: What’s a light bulb?
