do NOT erase!!

Pundayschool

yes. pun + Sunday school. say it out loud.

Gentle church humour that makes people laugh, recognise themselves, and take one small step forward.

The real Pundayschool mascot: a flat cutout with a thin blue outline, coral cheeks and a name badge, photographed at the church welcome desk after stepping out of the whiteboard.
the real one. caught on camera.

THE RULE

Laugh at the behaviour, not at the person.

Invite change; do not deliver a verdict.

Start with ‘we,’ never ‘those people.’

Make the behaviour absurd, but keep the person human.

Let grace have the final line.

pinned to the wall — why we’re here at all “They devoted themselves to the apostles’ teaching and to fellowship, to the breaking of bread and to prayer.” — ACTS 2:42
PILLAR 1

TEACHING

Sit under the word, not just scroll past it.

( bring a pencil )
PILLAR 2

FELLOWSHIP

People who know your name and notice your empty chair.

( stay past the handshake )
PILLAR 3

BREAKING OF BREAD

Eat together. The table does half the ministry.

( see: episode five )
PILLAR 4

PRAYER

Talk to God. Then leave room for an answer.

( silence counts )
four things. that’s the whole list. every episode pokes fun at how we wobble on one of these. then it invites us back.

ON THE BOARD — EIGHT SHIPPED, ALL LIVE

every card below is a real episode, quoted from the series bible
THE PILOT
Still from Episode 1: the mascot points across an empty stadium pitch.
1

The Sunday Match

Church culture, refereed like a football match. Worship-camera transformations. Parking-lot theology. The one that started it.

Still from Episode 2: a parent mascot tips the last of the milk over a cereal bowl while a small mascot cheers.
2

Surrender All (Except the Mirror)

A fought-over mirror, the last of the milk, a stolen shirt. Then the whole family walks in, perfectly composed, to sing “I Surrender All.”

— Luke 16:10
Real production still from Episode 2: church pews filled with cutout mascots singing, the front two wearing tinsel halos and paper wings.
ep 2 — composed. suspiciously composed.
Still from Episode 3: the mascot proudly holds a big, clearly unopened Bible in a sunny hallway.

The Spiritual Gym Membership

We own a Bible the way we own a gym membership: proud to have it, rarely open it.

— James 1:22
Still from Episode 4: stacked chairs and an unclaimed name badge hanging on the wall. Someone’s, presumably.

Someone Should

The church is full of people named Someone. “Someone should welcome them.” “Someone should help.” Nobody has ever met Someone.

— Galatians 6:10
SOMEONE IS YOU.
GRACE STARTS SMALL.
Still from Episode 5: the mascot hoists a tray of cinnamon rolls in triumph beside the river.

The Potluck Body of Christ

A post-baptism riverside potluck. Fifty desserts arrive. Nobody brought plates. A picture of why the body needs different gifts.

— 1 Corinthians 12:14–20
Real production still from Episode 5: a riverside potluck table crowded with pies, cakes and casseroles. Fifty desserts, zero plates.
ep 5 — fifty desserts. zero plates.
Still from Episode 6: the mascot sits in an armchair, red rotary phone to its ear, mid voicemail.

The Voicemail

We treat prayer like a voicemail. Rattle off a list, then hang up. When God calls back, we let it go to bit busy.

— Psalm 46:10
STAY ON THE LINE.
GRACE CALLS BACK.
Still from Episode 7: the mascot washes a plate at the sink while a phone glows face-down on the table.
7

Mailbox Full

We treat prayer like a one-way voicemail: leave the list, hang up, never check for a reply. Turns out God’s been calling back the whole time, over a thousand messages deep.

— Revelation 3:20
HE’S AT THE DOOR.
GRACE KEEPS KNOCKING.
Still from Episode 8: mascots fill the sanctuary pews, waving and chatting before the service.

The Sermon Takeaway Menu

Worship gets four stars, the sermon a solid three, coffee a clean five. Then a greeter with a clipboard asks which part we’re taking home. Silence.

— Luke 11:28
FIVE STARS. ZERO TAKEAWAY.
GRACE ASKS FOR ONE LINE.
up next — titles only. no dates.

THE CHANNEL IS LIVE. GRAB A TAB.

Real links now, all four. The tabs still tear off. That part still works too.

( two are already gone. we don’t know who took them. )
