After church on Sunday morning, a young boy suddenly announced to his
mother, “Mom, I’ve decided I’m going to be a minister 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’ll have to go to church on Sunday anyway,
and I figure it will be more fun to stand up and yell than to sit still
and listen.”

A heavy snowstorm closed the schools in one town. When the children
returned to school a few days later, one grade school teacher asked her
students whether they had used the time away from school constructively.
“I sure did, teacher,” one little girl replied. “I just prayed for more
snow.”

On Ash Wednesday, congregants at Kilbourne (Ohio) United Methodist
Church were coming forward for the imposition of ashes on their
foreheads. Two-year-old Brenna Wagoner, upset that her mother was not
taking her to the altar, was overheard exclaiming: “But I want to get a
tattoo just like Daddy’s!”

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!”

Rev. David A. Stammerjohn, pastor of Laboratory Presbyterian Church,
Washington, Pennsylvania, spent a week at the Synod school with his two
children. The school’s theme focused on Moses and the Exodus. When they
returned home, his five-year-old daughter excitedly greeted her mother:
“Guess what, Mommy. We made unleaded bread!”

The old pastor made it to a practice to visit the 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, but in those days there were only 13.”

Four-year-old Tucker Jones attended the vacation Bible school at our
church. The theme was “Discipleship and Saving Mother Earth.” His
mother, Trish Jones, asked Tucker what he had learned. He immediately
told her all bout “Jesus and the 12 recycles.”
