Prone to wander, Lord, I feel it. Prone to leave the God I love. Here’s my heart, oh, take and seal it, Seal it for Thy courts above.

Aaa thank you so much, both of you~! It's honestly just so nice to see a place like this here!
As for the funniest/strangest thing that's ever happened in Mass... Honestly I was too young to remember it clearly, but I've heard stories of little me running up and sitting in the Priest's chair during the homily. He let me stay there too, pfffttt TwT

I visited my best friend's church when I was younger. She's apostolic, and it was the first time I'd been to a charismatic church. They sang for about thirty minutes straight (I was about to freak), and then the actual sermon was about ten/fifteen minutes long. At the end, the pastor had all the children come to the front so the adults could 'pray over us.' This, of course, consisted of a lot of random people speaking in tongues (which I was hearing for the first time) and, like, waving their hands over a group of kids. It was honestly terrifying.
Went back to that church only once, for a play that my friend was in. One kid in the audience kept screaming things like "YOU SUCK, SATAN" whenever the devil character was on stage, and some disgruntled mothers had to tell him to shut up. Great times.

Ah sorry, just saw the question. Can't remember anything off the top of my head, but I know that one of the things that happened was our worship leader's guitar broke in the middle of a song and he dropped and started singing as if he was at a concert. It was great

one time we were walking out of church and we stumbled across the sole of a shoe and we were like, "oh that's funny, someone lost the bottom of their shoe!" so, halfway to the car, my grandma stumbles, and a piece of sole fell off of her OTHER shoe. the other one was missing the entire sole (the one we had found). so, now we joke that my grandma lost her sole in church. hahah.

Honestly I was too young to remember it clearly, but I've heard stories of little me running up and sitting in the Priest's chair during the homily. He let me stay there too, pfffttt TwT My parents had a handful trying to keep all of us kids paying attention and respectful during mass, so sometimes things slipped by. Apparently, my second brother Michael once ran up to the altar mid-homily, and simply stood there, fist on hips, smiling at the congregation. Just this chubby 4 year old. He wanted to have a look, I guess. My mom was too embarrassed so she made my dad go get him lol
Also, one time we had to go to the spanish mass at our church because we couldn't make any of the other services. We sat at the front, and my sister felt distinctly uncomfortable (I guess because we stood out in the crowd of Hispanics, and my sister hates attention). My dad asked her why she was frowning, and she said, "Everyone's staring at me!" She didn't say it very loudly, but Father must have caught it as he finished his homily, 'cause he gave her a little wave and winked at my sister on his way back to his chair xD

Oh my gosh I can't believe I forgot about this.
My childhood church used to put on Christmas musicals every year. The directors were incredible and went into insane detail with everything - they had an actual manger constructed, made all the costumes themselves, had people working the overhead sound and lighting, and even talked my dad (who was the pastor of the church at the time) into letting them install this massive stage curtain.
One year ('06 or '07 I believe) we performed a play called 'Christmas in Reverse'; which started in the beginning with Adam and Eve and walked through the Old and New Covenants until it ended with the original Christmas story. I was an angel. My younger brother was the Star (the star the shepherds and kings followed). He was dressed in all black and they had a giant cardboard star strapped to him with a hole for his face to peek through and it was hilarious.
His best friend Lance played a donkey in the nativity scene. All went well for the first Act, but by the end of Act 2, Lance was tired of acting and decided he wanted to hang out with my brother. The directors kept pushing him to get back onto the set with Mary and Joseph but he would not relent. As the final curtain was pulled back to reveal the nativity scene at the end of the play, the audience was surprised to see a donkey standing on the sky platform with the angels, next to the Star.
I have this on video and I crack up every time.

I have so many stories.
A girl once fainted in Church during the final blessing/dismissal. I distinctly remember hearing the loud "thunk" as she fell backwards onto the wooden pew. During a school mass, Fr. Patricio asked some questions of the younger kids in the homily. One of the little ones decided this was fun and started shouting out answers/suggestions during his sermon the next mass. That time I was lecture for the mass but hadn't read the reading beforehand (totally winged it). First I opened at the wrong bookmark, then I couldn't find the official "A reading from Paul to the Romans" or whatever, so I made up something that sounded like it could be right: "Readings to the Romans."
Oh, still a story if a bit off topic. When we were at the DMV earlier, this guy with two little girls walked in. The older girl was maybe 4 or 5, the age of asking questions, and she asked her father, "Daddy, what is this place?" His response: "Well, this is hell for some people." Mom burst out laughing lol

Not a church story, but (even worse) a funeral one... it'd been a long day, it was like 8pm, we were at my cousin's father's funeral. The minister giving the eulogy kept making a "nyuh" sound after every few words. "We are gatherednyuh here today to celebratenyuh the life of this manyuh." So on and so forth.
I was shaking. My eyes were filled with tears. I was trying so hard not to laugh. It was just the funniest thing in the world at the time. I could see, out of the corner of my eye, my brother looking at me, daring me to lose it. This went on for twenty or so minutes. One of the greatest struggles of my life.

Ahhh I haven't posted here in forever >_<
Anyway, I can't remember any specific funny things at the moment (they'll probably come to me like tomorrow), but during the "children's message" part of our church service the kids always get asked a few questions. They're adorable, and they never fail to entertain the congregation with their answers to some of these. One little boy in particular is so funny, you can never predict what's about to come out of this kid's mouth each Sunday.

One time when I was in middle school youth group the youth pastors faked someone's death. I missed it, unfortunately, but here's the story from what I recall:
This guy just fell over and started foaming at the mouth (using, we later found out, that weird foamy gum) and shaking. They called an ambulance ("ambulance", I assume) and everything. The guy was pronounced dead at the scene, and they held a fake service for him. Not entirely sure if it was just a demonstration and all of the kids were informed about it beforehand or if it was an attempt at traumatization. I'm hoping it was the forker
Edit: FORMER. Not forker.
