We have had so many hysterical things happen over the years, but some of the weirdest things happened years ago when our church was in the same neighborhood as a group home for the mentally disabled. You can just imagine some of the characters we had come through, but the most distinctive one was a 6 foot tall schizophrenic woman that came on a regular basis for quite a while. She was usually pretty subdued, but on a couple of occasions she gave us some very entertaining memories.

On time, it was a cold Sunday morning, and the building that we had back then was pretty old. We would turn the gas ovens on in the kitchen because it helped heat up the Sunday School classrooms better, but there would be a little gas smell. She was sitting in the sanctuary, luckily it was right before church actually started, when she got up and started screaming "Clear the building, clear the building, it's gonna blow." One of the women took her out side to calm her down and explain what was going on.

Another time she came in the back door during altar service and stood in the entry and hollered, "Silence, by the order of Nelson Mandela, you are all being deported. Report to the docks at midnight!!" I am sooo not kidding!! (BTW, we have no "docks")
