Let the wise listen and add to their learning.
—Proverbs 1:5
It was printed in the church bulletin: “There will be no service on Wednesday night before Thanksgiving.”
Ditto in the Sunday handout: “There will be no service on Wednesday night before Thanksgiving.”
Before beginning his sermon the minister tossed out this reminder: “There will be no service on Wednesday night before Thanksgiving.”
And again in the closing announcements: “There will be no service on Wednesday night before Thanksgiving.”
“Good sermon this morning, preacher,” said Billy Bob on his way out the door. “By the way, will we be having service on Wednesday night before Thanksgiving?”
