There Were Five Houses Of Religion in a small town:
The Anglican Church, The Baptist Church, The
Methodist Church, The Catholic Church and The Jewish Synagogue. Each church and Synagogue was overrun with pesky squirrels. One day,
The Anglican Church called a meeting to decide what to do about the
squirrels. After much prayer and consideration they
determined that the squirrels were predestined to be
there and they shouldn’t interfere with God’s divine will.
In The Baptist Church the squirrels had taken up
habitation in the baptistery. The deacons met and
decided to put a cover on the baptistery and drown the
squirrels in it. The squirrels escaped somehow and there were twice as many there the next week.
The Methodist Church got together and decided that they
were not in a position to harm any of God’s creation.
So, they humanely trapped the Squirrels and set them
free a few miles outside of town. Three days later, the
squirrels were back.
The Catholic Church came up with the best and most effective solution. They baptised the squirrels and registered them as members of the church. Now they only see them on Christmas, Ash
Wednesday, Palm Sunday and Easter. Not much was
heard about the Jewish Synagogue, but they took one
squirrel, and had a short service with him called circumcision, and they haven’t seen a squirrel on the property since.

I’m not worried!!! I’m a member of the United Church in another village. Plus our squirrels have an apartment in a local tree stump.
God Bless and keep reading
