Nice one!

Then there was the church that was raising money for a small repair, & with all praying & fasting sincerely, they wound up with a LOT more funds than planned, so they sent the pastor on a holiday while they worked on major upgrades (a surprise or two for all)

The pastor returned from the Carribbean well-rsted and looked forward to his first sermon in the new church.

He took his place behind the pulpit, & noticed, as usuial, people filing in to fill the rearmost pews first.

BUT, when it was full, hidden geart assemblies moved it up front & anm empty one to the back, & repeated until the entire front section  was filled.

He was delighted, seeing so manyt faces(& ears) up close.

He preached on a familiar topic: the Sermon on the Mount.

He was having such a good time, seeing his parishioners up front, that when his usual cutoff at noon, passed, he was just getting waermed up, suddenly he felt a motion, as the floor, on hidden gears & a lift, dropped him into the basement, where a nice lunch spread was awaiting all.

(One of the deacons did the benediction, so all was well)
