We had a furry heckler one night- a Bat!
The church had these huge 3 ft by 6 ft stained glass windows. Well you drop the top one half down and the lower one you raise, or you raise the lower one to get airflow in the summer. Somehow, Batman got in the church right before the service started.
We had one lady "running the aisles." instantly. She zoomed outside into her car and we did not see her again until Sunday! Well, Batman swooped around three or four times and settled in the peak of the ceiling right above the pulpit. so we started about 740 or so for the 730 service as Batman was here for a while. My Brother in law was leading songs and the first song was number 119. We all turn in our song books. "Watching and waiting, looooooking aaaaaaaaaaaabove....." About that time, we could have dismissed for we were all giggling. My Father in law flipped his songbook. My brother in law grabs his songbook and confessed later he was very close to hitting DAD! This brought more giggles.
We get though the Bible Study. You know how you remember services, not messages. No clue what was taught that night.
After service we began to find ways to evict the squatter. Nothing we had would throw would quite make to the pinnacle of the room, some 20-24 feet above us. I remembered in the Sunday School - PLAY DOH! Batman took one lump and tossed it back down, then on the second time, he decided to not play anymore. Back to swooping about the building. My Father in law got him with a broom in the back pew and all rejoiced as no lady would have set foot in the building Sunday had he been there again....
