Days To Be Absent

Dear Pastor:

You often stress attendance at worship as being very important
for a Christian, but I think a person has a right
to miss now and then.

I think every person ought to be excused
for the following reasons and the number of times indicated:
 
Christmas (Sunday before or after)
New Year (Party lasted too long)
Easter (Get away for holidays)
July 4 (National holiday)
Labor Day (Need to get away)
Memorial Day (Visit hometown)
School Closing (Kids need break)
School Opens (One last fling)
Family Reunions (Mine & wife's)
Sleep late (Saturday night activities)
Deaths in Family
Anniversary (Second honeymoon)
Sickness (One per family member)
Business Trips (A must)
Vacation (Three weeks)
Bad Weather (Ice, snow, rain, clouds)
Ball games
Unexpected Company (Can't walk out)
Time changes (Spring ahead; fall back)
Special on TV (Super Bowl, etc.)


Pastor, that leaves only two Sundays per year.

So, you can count on us to be in church
on the fourth Sunday in February
and the third Sunday in August
unless providentially hindered.

Sincerely,

A Faithful Member

See: Heb 10:25
