Do you remember that song? It was so popular when I graduated from High school, I even remember our high school class using it for some silly event that we did.
Sometime I have these Whoot, there it is moments. Friday, I had one.
Usually each week at Port City we do a bulletin which contains many pieces of fairly important information. I've really never been much on bulletins, but hey, it isn't a bad way to get info out, if people will only read them. Besides, we've always done them, ha! Anyway, I am typically responsible for a handful of items to be placed in the bulletin. Normally, the teen info section as well as the worship order.
Before , I go any further, let me say this. I love our Administrative Coordinator, Margaret Istre. Margaret is in charge of putting together the bulletin each week and does a phenomenal job! She is also like my 2nd Mom, she takes care of Susan and I like we were her own kids and I think she loves us almost as much. For her I am so thankful, if it wasn't for her Susan and I might have hit the road a long time ago! She is an awesome encourager and friend. We joke around alot together, usually in the silliest ways with the most serious of things (to some degree)
Well, this week I sent Margaret my bulletin info, I got the worship order in, and then sent over my youth news, well as always I sent her some funny stuff in my youth news e-mail to her. And well, let's just say she was so busy with everything going on, she published it exactly how I sent it. So here you go, here was the piece that was originally in our church bulletin:
"August 29th Honduras Orientation Meeting -if you are interested in Gettin R Dun fer next yir please be thar. After the mornin sangin time."
Well, maybe that doesn't sound so bad to you, but I knew if that went out to our whole church and, as if we don't get enough bad mouthing in town already, to others outside of our church family it wouldn't be good.
Well, each week we send this link out via e-mail so people can download the bulletin off of our website and look at it. Let's just say it happened before it was fixed. So, what did I do, well I got myself up to the church building at 10 on Saturday night and changed it, and reprinted every single copy of our bulletin before Sunday morning. Then I resaved the pdf and sent it to Mike (Margaret's husband) to re-upload onto the web site! WHOOOOO!
Some people did see th eoriginal version, but luckily not enough people paid enough attention for it to do any serious damage. Ahhhhh!
So there you have it, my whoot there it is story. That could have been potentially tragic, almost as bad as the time we broke the stained glass window at UB while playing a game of ultimate freeze in the fancy auditorium. Maybe I'll expound later.

LOL Chris...you could have just told anyone who asked that you were seeing if anyone was paying attention. Then again, in Alabama, they might have understood that better than any of the other announcements! Now I'm going to go run and hide!
