When I told my mom, a United Methodist deacon, this story, all she said was "Always double check the details."
At church this morning there was a baptism. The pastor was holding the baby and said his normal words to the parents and congregation. Then, while placing his hand in the bowl of water in the baptismal font, said, "I baptize you in the name of the Father, the Son, and the Holy Ghost... HEY! I have a problem! I don't have any water!" He held up the empty bowl to show. An elder quickly jumped up and grabbed the glass of water from the pulpit and provided it to the pastor. The pastor apologized and continued on.
I thought it was pretty funny.
