About this collection

Our most-read jokes and funny stories, all in one place. These are the pages readers have printed, emailed and read aloud for years, and every one is clean enough to share with your pastor, your grandchildren or your Sunday school class.

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. Old Folks Jokes and Old Timers are funny stories for seniors about getting older together, and Husbands and Wives and The Husband Store poke gentle fun at marriage. Children steal the show in Children’s Prayers.

If you’re looking for a funny Christian story to open a sermon, brighten a newsletter or lift a friend’s day, this collection is a good place to begin. For more, browse our full humor section.
