Why the Pastor’s Wife Always Volunteers for Late-Night Choir Practice…see more

The church lights dim. The sanctuary grows quiet. And while the rest of the congregation heads home, she stays behind—week after week—to “help with the choir.”

But the real reason has nothing to do with hymns…

The Unholy Truth

  1. The Piano Player’s Hands
  • Young, unmarried, and very dedicated to his craft
  • Known for “staying late to perfect the Sunday arrangements”
  • Coincidentally needs help turning pages…a lot
  1. The Back Room “Rehearsals”
  • Where the sheet music always seems to get “disorganized”
  • Where the thermostat is mysteriously set too high
  • Where the door just happens to lock from the inside
  1. The Alibi That Never Fails
  • “We were practicing the new Easter cantata!”
  • “The sopranos needed extra work on their harmonies!”
  • “Someone had to fold the bulletins for tomorrow!”

Why the Congregation Never Suspects

  • She’s too pious to ever be doubted
  • He’s the last person anyone would accuse
  • And frankly? Most folks are just relieved the sermons stay on time

The Signs You Missed

  • How her “Hallelujah” sounds a little too passionate lately
  • The way his rendition of Amazing Grace now includes…extra grace notes
  • That new lock on the choir room door that “the trustees approved”

The Real Reason She Sings Soprano

It’s not because of her vocal range.

It’s because of what happens after the high notes.

The question isn’t if they’ve been caught…
It’s how many others in the choir are keeping the same secret.

But hey—at least the Easter service will be very spirited this year.
