Quarterback Sneak - Church members quietly leaving during the invitation.

Draw Play - What many children do with the bulletin during worship.

Halftime - The period between Sunday Bible studies and worship service when many leave or come in.

Benchwarmer - Those who do not sing, pray, work, or apparently do anything else but sit in their regular seats each week.

Backfield In Motion - Making a trip to the back (restroom or the water fountain) during the worship service.

Staying In The Pocket - What happens to much money that should be given to help with the Lord's work each week.

Two-Minute Warning - The point at which you realize the sermon, mercifully, is almost over and begin to gather up your children, belongings, and songbook.

Instant Replay - The preacher loses his notes and falls back on last week's illustrations.

Sudden Death - Heaven forbid! What happens to the congregation's attention span if the preacher goes into "overtime."

Trap - You're called on to pray or wait on the table, and you have fallen asleep.

End Run - Getting out of the church building quickly after the final amen. No speaking to brethren or greeting the visitors. Before anyone can ask you to do something!

Flex Defense - The ability to allow absolutely nothing said during the sermon to affect your life or the changes you need to make.

Halfback Option - The decision of 50% of the congregation not to return for the evening worship service.

Blitz - The rush for the restaurants after the closing prayer. Got to beat those other "church-goers" before they get in line ahead of us!
