QUARTERBACK SNEAK - Church members quietly leaving during the invitation.
DRAW PLAY  - What many children do with the bulletin during worship.
HALFTIME - The period between Sunday School and worship when many choose to leave.
BENCHWARMER - Those who do not sing, pray, work, or apparently do anything but sit.
BACKFIELD-IN-MOTION - Making a trip to the back to go to the restroom or water fountain during the service.
STAYING IN THE POCKET - What happens to a lot of money that should be given to the Lord's work.
TWO-MINUTE WARNING - The point at which you realize the sermon is almost over and begin to gather up your children and belongings.
INSTANT REPLAY - The preacher loses his notes and falls back on last week's illustrations.
SUDDEN DEATH - What happens to the attention span of the congregation if the preacher goes "overtime".
