To make their worship services more interesting, Hilldale Presbyterian Church added a big screen to display hymn lyrics, Powerpoint presentations, and the occasional showing of The Princess Bride when the sermon is too boring.

Angus: “…when the sermon is too boring.”
Fezzik: “Which may cause them to start…SNORING”

(Watching with amusement as Princess Bride references continue to trickle in.)

Westley: I told you I would always come for you. Why didn’t you wait for me?
Buttercup: Well… you were dead.
Westley: Death cannot stop true love. All it can do is delay it for a while.
(Oh, no. This could be the text for next year’s seeker sensitive Easter message.)

“You know how much I like to watch you work, but I have a gospel to twist, a service to make relevant, a church to destroy, and the world to blame for it. I’m swamped.”

I wonder how he works the Cliffs of Insanity into his sermons.

Kyle, wouldn’t that be “Wick Wawwen”?

yes, but this only works if your congregation is only “mostly dead”. If they are all dead, there’s only one thing to do: go through the offering plates and get their loose change (because thats all they’ll put in)

Pastor: “Let me explain…
No, it’ll take too long.
Let me sum up…”

In retrospect, I realize the pastor doesn’t need to work in the Cliffs of Insanity, many sermons have already driven me there.

When I first saw the picture on the screen,I thought they were the Barbarians from the ,”…What’s in YOUR wallet?…” credit card commercial! Extreme ignorance on my part,(I have no idea what”The Princess Bride”is),however,you must admit,not beyond the realm of possibilities in today’s “church”.

Hey, what is that robe thingy he is wearing?
Where is the shirt from Honolulu Ricky sent him?

Perhaps if the pastor preached wearing that nifty black headscarf and mask…. “The Dread Pastor ________”

Wait until they do the “Pirates of The Carribean” series. The pastor/pirate will dress with eye patch and tell of the sins of saying “Arrgggg” too many times…..
Church tv for the spiritually impaired….well, why bother to get up and go to church? Why not have a home version of this? With RIck Warren as master of ceremonies…?

I Don’t know Princess Bride, perhaps that’s a bit outdated. This man needs to get with it and show a film that’s recent..and I don’t know of any off hand. I try not to fill my head with useless knowledge as what’s showing…

Members of the church smelled an R.U.S. when they saw the new projector screen installed.

You keep preaching that Word… I do not think it means what you think it means.
