:27:01
whose sin is covered.
:27:03
I said I will confess
my transgressions unto the Lord...
:27:06
and Thou forgave us
the inequity of my sin.
:27:10
- The Word of the Lord.
- Thanks be to God.
:27:12
I'd like to take a few minutes
to discuss some...
:27:15
of the upcoming activities
on the church calendar.
:27:18
Here we go.
:27:21
- What's wrong, Simon?
- Who knows what God thinks
about current events?
:27:25
- Does someone have a question?
- Uh, no, sir.
:27:29
Uh, Your Honor, no...
:27:32
Father, thank you.
No, sir.
:27:35
It's always nice to see
new faces in the congregation.
:27:39
Uh, I'd like
to invite them...
:27:41
to join my wife and children
and, uh, myself...
:27:44
for coffee and donuts
downstairs after the service.
:27:46
- What does coffee and donuts
have to do with God?
- Simon Birch, be quiet.
:27:51
Simon, is there something you'd like
to share with the rest of us?
:27:57
I said, "What does coffee and donuts
have to do with God?"
:28:01
They're merely refreshments
so people can socialize and, uh,
discuss the upcoming activities.
:28:07
Whoever said that church needs
a continental breakfast?
:28:10
- Simon!
- I doubt that God is interested
in our church activities.
:28:13
- Simon!
- If God has made the church
bake sale our priority,
:28:16
then I'd say we're all
in a lot of trouble.
:28:19
Simon, that is enough!
:28:28
Children may be excused...
:28:29
to go to Sunday school.
:28:34
- Simon?
- Yes, ma'am?
:28:37
Don't you feel that you owe
Reverend Russell an apology?
:28:43
- Simon?
- I'm thinking.
:28:46
Well, you can just sit there
and think...
:28:48
until you apologize
to poor Reverend Russell.
:28:51
Class dismissed.
:28:55
Joe, dismissed.
:28:57
- See you later, alligator.
- After a while, crocodile.
