A couple miscues from childhood on a UPC pew.
One holiday season late 70's at around 6 or 7 years old I was listening intensely to Pastor explain the Christmas story. It was extremely quite and as he told of the virgin birth curiosity got the best of me. I asked my mother rather loudly " what in the world is a virgin" . This same period of time an older gentleman would sing at least once a month Just A Closer Walk With Thee. Just a closer walk with thee granny Jesus hear my plea. I kept wondering who granny Jesus could be. Maybe I would find out when I figured out what a virgin was. Sadly I learned about virgins before I realized the correct lyrics grant it Jesus!

Re: A couple miscues from childhood on a UPC pew.
A young girl in my church would sing the old hymn I'll Live On, but she must have seen way too many services where the pastor got the olive oil and began to anoint people because she would sing OLIVE OIL! OLIVE OIL THOUGH ETERNITY OLIVE OILLLLL!

The congregation was singing and my 4 year old nephew was singing right along at the top of his lungs, when the congregation stopped singing, my nephew kept right on singing, NINTY NINE BOTTLES OF BEER ON THE WALL.

Re: A couple miscues from childhood on a UPC pew.
These are great! I am sitting here laughing. The story that comes to my mind isn't a church one but was from the first Gulf war in 1991. My oldest son was 7 years old. The family had to endure me having the tv on the 24 hour news channel as I followed the war effort to free Kuwait from the Iraqi invasion. After a few days of this my son asked me one evening "Does Saddam sing good?" I was floored trying to figure out why he would ask that but understood when he explained he was asking because the newscaster's kept talking about "Saddam who sang" (Saddam Hussain)!!! LOL

"We did not wear uniforms. The lady workers dressed in the current fashions of the day, ...silks...satins...jewels or whatever they happened to possess. They were very smartly turned out, so that they made an impressive appearance on the streets where a large part of our work was conducted in the early years.
"It was not until long after, when former Holiness preachers had become part of us, that strict plainness of dress began to be taught.
"Although Entire Sanctification was preached at the beginning of the Movement, it was from a Wesleyan viewpoint, and had in it very little of the later Holiness Movement characteristics. Nothing was ever said about apparel, for everyone was so taken up with the Lord that mode of dress seemingly never occurred to any of us."

Re: A couple miscues from childhood on a UPC pew.
One song that I remember singing as a child "He looked beyond my socks and saw my knees". I was quite a bit older until I realized it was supposed to be "He looked beyond my faults and saw my needs"...
By the way - I've had a great chuckle over all these stories!

Re: A couple miscues from childhood on a UPC pew.
Someone told about singing the song
Crazy, crazy, crazy in the morning,
crazy in the noontime,
crazy, crazy, crazy when the sun goes down.
They thought it was a crazy song, but hey they were just glad to be in the church and part of this crazy bunch of people. Then they looked at the songbook and realized it really was'nt such a silly song after all.
