In the lingo of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints, a small congregation is called a “branch”; an average size congregation is a “ward.” Anyway, I too remember that hand game with the rhyme.
Many of the most alive congregations are rather small. Better to be an active member of a cohesive group doing some good in the world than just another face in a megachurch crowd, unknown to anyone around you.
If GoComics is listening to us (since they did re-color the blue bird of weirdness…….), is it time to launch a petition BEGGING them to do whatever it takes to get new “Li’l Abner” strips and to add “Pogo” ?

This is the starting point for future rumours and conspiracy theories which insist that Woodstock once was a blue bird.

We had a small congregation. They were very good people who I miss very much

At the church I go to, we also have a fairly small (but closely knit) congregation.

So good to see a lack of comments condemning religion today!

I used to do that when I was a little girl.
It’s cute to see Linus showing Sally it.

Linus and Sally were a happy pair back then. It was a little sad, but pretty funny, when he became so annoyed with her later on.

This is the same strip from 1963 only they use Linus instead of Charlie Brown.
