Kids 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 (alternating 
between  bride's side and groom's side).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. The 
little boy, however, was getting more and more distressed from all the 
laughing, and was also near tears 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!"


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


During the minister's prayer one Sunday, there was a loud whistle from one 
of the back pews. Gary's mother was horrified. She pinched him into 
silence, and after church, asked: "Gary, whatever made you do such a 
thing?" Gary answered soberly: "I asked God to teach me to whistle... And 
He did it just then!"
