Thanks. I think many of these are from Richard Lederer's Anguished English which is available on bookshare.

This one has been circulating since the 90's, but it's still pretty amusing.

Yeah, I've definitely seen it before. But it is great.

Another one I remember, was something like this:
This Sunday morning's sermon is titled "Jesus Walks On Water."
At the evening service, the sermon is titled:
"Searching For Jesus".
I just love these!
Blessings,
Sarah

Those are good ones.

Now this one is for real, and I swear to you that yours truly being a
troublemaker that I am did not cause this:
One year at a church I went to with the Wife, I got drafted to help with the
kiddies' program, part of the band. We're backstage waiting and someone
comes up and tells me this entry in the program while they were going to pass
the plate, "And Leo will be playing "Who's Child Is This" on the keyboards."
The women in charge of that program were not amused, less so when they
found us band members cutting up in the backstage area doing faux rap
imitations about whose child is this, who's the baby daddy.

I haven't seen it before, but I understand there are some amusing signs that are actually in the South.

Oh man. Some of these got a snort. And I usually don't snort with laughter unless surprised into it. Well done.

What would be really funny is seeing the reactions of the people who wrote the anouncements after they realized what they'd done. Yet another great example of how easy misunderstandings happen.
