Children in church
A little boy was in a relative's wedding. As he was coming down the
aisle, he would take two steps, stop, and turn to the crowd. While
facing the crowd, he would put his hands up like claws and roar. So it
went, step, step, ROAR, step, step, ROAR, all the way down the aisle. As
you can imagine, the crowd was near tears from laughing so hard by the
time he reached the pulpit. When asked what he was doing, the child
sniffed and said, "I was being the Ring Bear."

One Sunday in a Midwest City, a young child was "acting up" during the
morning worship hour. The parents did their best to maintain some sense
of order in the pew but were losing the battle. Finally, the father
picked the little fellow up and walked sternly up the aisle on his way
out. Just before reaching the safety of the foyer, the little one
called loudly to the congregation, "Pray for me! Pray for me!"

One
particular four-year old prayed, "And forgive us our trash baskets as we
forgive those who put trash in our baskets."

A little boy was 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 Sunday School teacher asked her little 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."

A little boy opened the big and old family Bible with
fascination, looking at the old pages as he turned them. Then something
fell out of the Bible. He picked it up and looked at it closely.
It was an old leaf from a tree that has been pressed in between the
pages. "Mama, look what I found," the boy called out. "What have you
got there, dear?" his mother asked. With astonishment in the young
boy's voice he answered, "It's Adam's suit."

The
preacher was wired for sound with a lapel mike, and as he preached, he
moved briskly about the platform, jerking the mike cord as he
went. Then he moved to one side, getting wound up in the cord and
nearly tripping before jerking it again. After several circles and
jerks, a little girl in the third pew leaned toward her mother and
whispered, "If he gets loose, will he hurt us?"

Six-year old Angie, and her four-year old brother, Joel, were sitting
together in church. Joel 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?" Joel asked. Angie pointed to
the back of the church and said, "See those two men standing by the
door? They're hushers."

My
grandson was visiting one day when he asked, "Grandma, do you know how
you and God are alike?" I mentally polished my halo, while I
asked, "No, how are we alike?" "You're both old," he replied.

A ten-year old, under the tutelage of her grandmother, was
becoming quite knowledgeable about the Bible. Then, one day, she
floored her grandmother by asking, "Which Virgin was the mother of
Jesus? The virgin Mary or the King James Virgin?"

A Sunday school class was studying the Ten Commandments. They were
ready to discuss the last one. The teacher asked if anyone could tell
her what it was. Susie raised her hand, stood tall, and quoted, "Thou
shall not take the covers off the neighbor's wife."
