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 neighbors wife."
