    A Sunday school teacher was telling her class the story of the Good Samaritan, in which a man was beaten, robbed and left for dead. 
    She described the situation in vivid detail so her students would catch the drama. Then she asked the class, "If you saw a person lying on the roadside all wounded and bleeding, what would you do?"
    A thoughtful little girl broke the hushed silence, "I think I'd throw up!"

     One Sunday morning, the pastor noticed little Alex was staring up at the large plaque that hung in the foyer of the church. The plaque was covered with names, and small American flags were mounted on either side of it.
     The seven-year old had been staring at the plaque for some time, so the pastor walked up, stood beside the boy, and said quietly, "Good morning Alex."
     "Good morning pastor," replied the young man, still focused on the plaque.
     "Pastor McGhee, what is this?" Alex asked.
     "Well, son, it's a memorial to all the young men and women who died in the service."
     Soberly, they stood together, staring at the large plaque. Little Alex's voice was barely audible when he asked, "Which service, the 8:30 or the 11:00?"

    Finding one of her students making faces at others on the playground, Ms. Smith stopped to gently reprove the child. Smiling sweetly, the Sunday School teacher said, "Bobby, when I was a child, I was told that if I made ugly faces, it would freeze and I would stay like that."

While walking along the sidewalk in front of his church, our minister heard the intoning of a prayer that nearly made his collar wilt. Apparently his five-year-old son and his playmates had found a dead robin. Feeling that proper burial should be performed, they had secured a small box and cotton batting, then dug a hole and made ready for the disposal of the deceased. The minister's son was chosen to say the appropriate prayers and with sonorous dignity intoned his version of what he thought his father always said, "Glory be unto the Faaaather,  and unto the Sonnnn. . . and into the hole you goooo."

    The Sunday school teacher was carefully explaining the story of Elijah the Prophet and the false prophets of Baal.  She explained how Elijah built the altar, put wood upon it, cut the steer in pieces and laid it upon the altar.  And then Elijah commanded the people of God to fill four barrels of water and pour it over the altar.  He had them do this four times.  "Now, said the teacher, "can anyone in the class tell me why the Lord would have Elijah pour water over the steer on the altar?"
    A little girl raised her hand with great enthusiasm and said "To make the gravy!"

    Nine-year-old Joey was asked by his mother what he had learned in Sunday School. Well, Mom, our teacher told us how God sent Moses behind enemy lines on a rescue mission to lead the Israelites out of Egypt. When he got to the Red Sea, he had his engineers build a pontoon bridge, and all the people walked across safely. He used his walkie-talkie to radio headquarters and call in an air strike. They sent in bombers to blow up the bridge and all the Israelites were saved.
    "Now, Joey, is that REALLY what your teacher taught you?" his mother asked.
    "Well, no, Mom, but if I told it the way the teacher did, you'd never believe it!"

Every evening, a mother and her young son, knelt down beside his bed so he could say his prayers.

    "Because," said the little girl, "the Bible is always talking about St. Paul, and it never once mentions Minneapolis."

    "Six feet under!", yelled Little Johnny.

    "What have you got there, dear?" his mother asked.
    With astonishment in the young boy's voice he answered: "It's Adam's suit!!!"

    After listening restlessly to a long and tedious sermon, a six-year-old boy asked his father what the preacher did the rest of the week.
    "Oh, he's a very busy man," the father replied. "He takes care of church business, visits the sick, ministers to the poor...and then he has to have time to rest up. Talking in public isn't an easy job, you know."
    The boy thought about that, then said, "Well, listening ain't easy, either!

This comes from a Catholic elementary school. Kids were asked questions about the Old and New Testaments. They have not been retouched or corrected (i.e., incorrect spelling has been left in).

• In the first book of the bible, Guinessis, God got tired of creating the world, so he took the Sabbath off.
• Adam and Eve were created from an apple tree. Noah's wife was called Joan of Ark. Noah built an ark, which the animals come on to in pears.

• Lot's wife was a pillar of salt by day, but a ball of fire by night.

• The Jews were a proud people and throughout history they had trouble with the unsympathetic Genitals.

• Samson was a strongman who let himself be led astray by a Jezebel like Delilah.

• Moses led the Hebrews to the Red Sea, where they made unleavened bread which is bread without any ingredients.

• The Egyptians were all drowned in the dessert. Afterwards, Moses went up on Mount Cyanide to get the ten ammendments.

• The seventh commandment is thou shalt not admit adultery.

• Moses died before he ever reached Canada. Then Joshua led the Hebrews in the battle of Geritol.

• The greatest miracle in the Bible is when Joshua told his son to stand still and he obeyed him.

• David was a Hebrew king skilled at playing the liar. He fought with the Finklesteins, a race of people who lived in Biblical times.

• Solomon, one of David's sons, had 300 wives and 700 porcupines.

• When Mary heard that she was the mother of Jesus, she sang the Magna Carta.

• When the three wise guys from the east side arrived, they found Jesus in the manager.

• Jesus was born because Mary had an immaculate contraption.

• Jesus enunciated the Golden Rule, which says to do one to others before they do one to you. He also explained, "a man doth not live by sweat alone."

• It was a miracle when Jesus rose from the dead and managed to get the tombstone off the entrance.

• The people who followed the lord were called the 12 decibels. The epistles were the wives of the apostles.

• One of the opossums was St. Matthew who was also a taximan.

• St. Paul cavorted to Christianity. He preached holy acrimony, which is another name for marriage.

• Christians have only one spouse. This is called monotony.

    My pastor was about to take offering and asked if anyone would like to sing a special.  My friend's six-year-old daughter raised her hand.  Her mother reached out to grab her hand and pull it down but it was too late. The pastor saw it....called out to her and asked her to come forward and share her song.
    She stood up straight and grabbed the microphone and proceeded to sing..."I wish they could all be California girls".

Hello, I am a pastor, and have a couple of cute, true stories:

My son's rendering of the Lord's prayer: 
Our Father which aren't in heaven, halloween be thy name... (Jason Age 5)

Ties and Offerings
The children's pastor carefully explained why it is important for everyone to put their "tithes and offerings" in the plate every Sunday. At offering time, following his leader's instructions, little seven year old Billy removed his clip-on tie and placed it in the plate!
