Once upon a time, electronic communication meant phoning a friend. Now we don’t use phones to make phone calls—we text! Considering this, should your church use text messaging?
While the pastor in my cartoon may have the right idea, he probably needs a different phone number! It may sway some parishioners to text some less-than-positive feedback. Still, isn’t it amazing we can use technology to such a degree today?
A few months ago, my wife asked me to check for an item in the church refrigerator. It was a harrowing experience. Just why are church refrigerators so yucky, anyway?
When it comes to refrigerators and churches, it can be a mixed back. Frequently, you’ll hear stories of gross church refrigerators. Let’s face it; if no one is in charge of the church kitchen, some interesting artifacts will show up. It can be scary!
But fear not! As usual, someone on the Internet has advice on how to stock a church kitchen. The bottom line is when there is a budget, and someone is in charge, it is less likely the church refrigerator won’t be filled with only expired condiments.
I drew this cartoon for the November 2022 CHOGNews.
There is a lot of pressure when you have the responsibility for running the presentation during a church service. And it doesn’t help when the worship leader goes with the Spirit. Such an experience inspired me to write and draw this worship slides pressure cartoon.
I have been on both sides of the screen. There have been times when I am in the congregation and I have been distracted by the erratic timing of the slides. I have wondered, “What in the world is the operator thinking? Is this even the same song?”
Much to the chagrin of janitors, vacation Bible school is in full swing. They will have red punch spills and out-of-control craft projects to clean up. With that in mind, I wrote and drew this VBS hazard pay cartoon.
Janitors are the unsung heroes of vacation Bible school. Instead of the normal maintenance and cleanups, they are used to, they experience a full week of challenges.
No matter how you slice it, content is king! And the content in a church bulletin is important. But can errors and faux pas make them unsafe? That was my thought as I drew this safe church bulletins cartoon.
When it comes to church communications, always test them first. All it takes is one typo to throw the congregation into a tizzy. Remember, it only takes one letter to turn “singing” into “sinning!”
