Sunday School Screamer

If I had not been there I would not have believed it.

We were having a wonderful lesson by our instructor, Erin Russell; the spirit was strong and everyone's comments were uplifting and appropriate. We were all enjoying the bask of the glow of peaceful contemplation when the five-minute warning bell rang out, shattering the quietude. Apparently, it was all too much for one young sister who, unable to contain her surprise, screamed out loud for full on twice as long as the bell rang. A brief moment to process what had happened so quickly and the class erupted in laughter. I tried to find the little banshee, but couldn't make out who she was.

I couldn't believe my ears, but I was there - I am a first-hand witness to the Sunday School Screamer. Maybe they should think about changing the sound of the bell...

Best. Sunday School. Ever.
