We’ve all been there. Church is a place of worship, community, and sometimes, those cringe-worthy moments that make you want to hide under the pew. Here are ten awkward moments every Adventist has experienced at church.
1. When the Pastor Asks You to Turn to a Scripture, and You Can’t Find It
You’ve flipped through your Bible three times, and still no luck. All eyes are on you, and you can feel the sweat starting to form. It’s somewhere in there, right?
2. The Potluck Dish Nobody Touches
You brought a new, experimental dish to potluck, and it’s still sitting there, untouched, by the end of the meal. Better luck next time!
3. Accidentally Calling Someone the Wrong Name
You confidently greet Sister Smith, only to realize she’s actually Sister Johnson. Cue the awkward silence and hurried apologies.
4. Singing the Wrong Verse of a Hymn
Everyone else is on the third verse, and you’re belting out the first. You either try to catch up or slowly fade into silence, hoping no one noticed (but they did).
5. Falling Asleep During the Sermon
Your head nods, eyes droop, and suddenly you’re jolted awake. You hope no one saw, but judging by the smirks around you, they definitely did.
6. When a Child Says Something Embarrassing During Children’s Story
Kids say the darndest things, especially when they grab the microphone during Children’s Story. You just hope it’s not your kid revealing family secrets.
7. Spilling Communion Grape Juice on Your White Shirt
It’s a delicate operation, and one slip-up later, your white shirt now has a very noticeable purple stain. Just smile and pretend it’s not there.
8. Trying to Quietly Open a Candy Wrapper During Service
You thought you could get away with it, but the wrapper seems louder than ever. Every crackle echoes through the sanctuary.
9. The Overly Enthusiastic Handshake
You go in for a normal handshake, but the other person grabs your hand with both of theirs and shakes it vigorously. You weren’t prepared for that level of enthusiasm.
10. Forgetting to Silence Your Phone
The service is in full swing, and suddenly your phone starts blaring your ringtone. You fumble to silence it, wishing the ground would swallow you up.
