THINGS TO MAKE YOU SMILE
Palm Sunday
It was Palm Sunday and, because of a sore throat, five-year-old Johnny stayed home from church with a sitter. When the family returned home, they were carrying several palm branches. The boy asked what they were for. “People held them over Jesus’ head as he walked by.” “Wouldn’t you know it,” the boy fumed, “the one Sunday I don’t go, He shows up!"
Children’s Sermon
One Easter Sunday morning as the minister was preaching the Children’s Sermon, he reached into his bag of props and pulled out an egg. He pointed at the egg and asked the children, “What’s in here?” “I know a little boy exclaimed. “Pantyhose!!”
First Time Ushers
A little boy in church for the first time watched as the ushers passed around the offering plates. When they came near his pew, the boy said loudly, “don’t pay for me daddy. I’m under five.”
Prayers
The Sunday school teacher asked, “Johnny, tell me, do you say prayers before eating?” “No sir,” he replied, “we don’t have to, my mom’s a good cook!”
