Twas the night before Sunday, when through GCC, No Spirit was stirring, for those gifts had ceased. The hymnals were nestled all snug in their pews, For J-Mac was coming to preach the good news.
Then in crept Ol' Gavin, with loathing and spite To snatch up those hymnals, in the dead of the night. He went one by one, threw each one in his sack From the very first pew, to the one in the back.
Then Newsom he laughed, such a terrible laugh, And said, This will cut their dumb service in half! No worship, no singing, theyll cry and theyll scream! That will teach them for messing with COVID-19!
But poor Gavin was shocked, when to his dismay He heard the church singing, the very next day He heard high notes and low notes, horns, violins, For the old folks had memorized all of the hymns.
LOVE this!!
YAHOO DORAY!!!
Wonderful - thanks for posting. And I always click on their site for the original - so they get the hits (and so I see what else I might have missed).
It’s definitely one of the best sites out there.
Is this satire? If so, it is almost too believable to be satire?
**No Spirit was stirring, for those gifts had ceased**
The writer must know the Calvinist’s doctrine! (heh)
ROTFL
....and replaced them with the sheet music of In-a-gadda-da-vida.

Thank you for not labeling this satire!!
One thing I love about Grace Community Church is that they still sing traditional hymns and gospel songs.
