Easter recorded phone call

I am shamelessly porting this over from the pages of the Internetmonk, with their knowledge. I think you will enjoy it. Consider this an update on the Rick Warren post.

Back in March of 2005, Michael couldn’t help but share the following comment from the Boar’s Head Tavern.

BHT Fellow Judson posted: “I just received a recorded phone call from my pastor inviting me to attend Easter Sunday.”

Lurker Eric replied with this gem:

“Press 1 if you will be attending the Traditional Easter Sunrise Service to be held in the (insert local Jr. College stadium here).”

“Press 2 if you will be attending the 8:30 Traditional/Contemporary Easter Cantata Service to be held in the main auditorium/gymnasium.”

“Press 3 if you will be attending the 10:00 Contemporary/Revelant Passion Interpretation in the Holy Grounds Coffee shop. Seating is limited, please reserve soon.”

“Press 4 if you will be bringing a friend to the 10:30 Resurrection Sunday Pageant. If you’re friend is not a Christian but is sensitive to the christian lifestyle/worldview, please leave their name and address so the Seeker Strike Team can visit them next Tuesday.”

“Press 9 to hear these selections again or Press ‘O’ for the operator…Thank you for calling Valley Central Fellowship and Worship Center…”

(Eric the Lurker from Redding)

There were, of course, several funny comments. I am abstracting two of them because they relate to the Orthodox.

We would have only one choice, “Press 1, assuming that you can find the phone pad through the clouds of incense rolling out of your phone.”

And the second comment:

“Please listen carefully, as some of our liturgical selections have changed. For the Presanctified Liturgy, press or sing Tone 1. For the Liturgy of St. John Chrystostom, press or sing Tone 2. For St. Basil…”

I know that there are some creative people out there. Have fun coming up with some of your own ideas for menu choices. You can post them either here or follow the link up above to Internetmonk and post them there.
