About this collection

Funny Christian stories for sermons, Sunday school and church newsletters. A good laugh opens hearts, and pastors and teachers have used these stories for years to begin a message or lighten a meeting. Every one is clean and short enough to tell from the pulpit.

Start with Church Humor, where a little girl recites the 23rd Psalm in one memorable line and a nervous new minister borrows a joke for his first sermon. In The Pastor’s Cat a pastor bends a tree with his car to rescue a kitten, and How To Stop A Church Gossip is a story about the tongue that every congregation will recognize. The Good Samaritan shows what happens when a Sunday school teacher asks four- and five-year-olds what they would do, and One Sunday a Cowboy Went to Church is a favorite with preachers.
