Kids In
Church
What happens when God doesn’t like a seagull?
3-year-old Ryan: “Our
Father, Who does art in heaven, Harold is His name. Amen.”
A father was at the beach with his children when the four-year old son ran up to
him, grabbed his hand, and led him to the shore where a seagull lay dead in the
sand. “Daddy, what happened to him?” the son asked. “He died and went to
Heaven,” the Dad replied. The boy thought a moment and then said, “Did God throw
him back down?”
A little boy, overheard praying, “Lord, if you can’t make me a better boy, don’t
worry about it. I’m having a real good time like I am.”
A mother invited some people to dinner. At the table, she turned to their
six-year-old daughter and said, “Would you like to say the blessing?” “I
wouldn’t know what to say,” the girl replied. “Just say what you hear Mommy
say,” the mother answered. The daughter bowed her head and said, “Lord, why on
earth did I invite all these people to dinner?”
A mother was preparing pancakes for her sons, Malachi (5) and Judah (3). The
boys began to argue over who would get the first pancake. Their mother saw the
opportunity for a moral lesson. “If Jesus were sitting here, He would say, “Let
my brother have the first pancake, I can wait!” Malachi turned to his younger
brother and said, “Judah, you be Jesus!”
A Sunday School teacher asked her children as they were on the way to Church
service, “And why is it necessary to be quiet in Church?” One bright little girl
replied, “Because people are sleeping.”
After many bedtime evenings of teaching Katie to say the Lord’s Prayer, she
finally built up the courage to say it alone: “Lead us not into temptation, but
deliver us from E-mail.”
After the christening of his baby brother in Church, Kenny sobbed all the way
home in the back seat of the car. His father asked him three times what was
wrong. Finally, Kenny replied, “That preacher said he wanted us brought up in a
Christian home, and I wanted to stay with you guys.”
Little Johnny prayed, “And forgive us our trash baskets as we forgive those who
put trash in our baskets.”
Six-year-old Christine and her four-year-old brother, Andrew, were sitting
together in Church. Andrew giggled, sang, and talked out loud. Finally, his big
sister had had enough. “You’re not supposed to talk out loud in Church.” “Why?
Who’s going to stop me?” Andrew asked. Christine pointed to the back of the
Church and said, “See those two men standing by the door? They’re hushers.”
