Out of the Mouths of Kids

  • After church on Sunday, a boy suddenly announced, "Mom, I've decided to be a preacher when I grow up."
  • "That's okay with us," the mother said, "but what made you decide to be a minister?"
  • "Well," the boy replied, "I have to go to church anyway, so I figure it will be more fun to stand up and yell than to sit still and listen."
  • On vacation with her family in Montana, a mother drove her van past a church in a small town and pointing to it, told the children that it was St. Francis' Church.
  • "It must be a franchise," her eight-year-old son said. "We've got one of those in our town too."
A Sunday school teacher challenged her children to take some time on Sunday afternoon to write a letter to God. They were to bring back their letter the following Sunday. One little boy wrote: "Dear God, we had a good time at church today. Wish You could have been there." Bouncing out of her first day in nursery school at Mount Moriah Presbyterian Church in Port Henry, New York, a three-year-old girl gleefully informed her mother: "We had juice and Billy Graham crackers!"
Four-year-old Jimmy attended the vacation Bible school at our church. The theme was "Discipleship and Saving Mother Earth." His mother asked Jimmy what he had learned. He immediately told her all about "Jesus and the 12 recycles." The old pastor made it to a practice to visit the church's parish school one day a week. He walked into the 4th grade class, where the children were studying the states, and asked them how many states they could name. They came up with about 40 names. He jokingly told them that in his day students knew the names of all the states.

One lad raised his hand and said, "Yes sir, but in those days there were only 13."
