STORY OF ELIJAH

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 a 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, asked 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 in the back of the room started waving her hand, "I
know! I know!" she said. "To make the gravy!"

LOT'S WIFE

The Sunday School teacher was describing how Lot's wife looked
back and turned into a pillar of salt, when little Jason interrupted, "My
Mummy looked back once, while she was driving," he announced
triumphantly, "and she turned into a telephone pole!"

GOOD SAMARITAN

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."

DID NOAH FISH?

A Sunday school teacher asked, "Johnny, do you think Noah
did a lot of fishing when he was on the Ark?"  
"No," replied David. "How could he, with just two worms?"

HIGHER POWER

A Sunday school teacher said to her children, " We have been
learning how powerful kings and queens were in Bible times.
But, there is a higher power.  Can anybody tell me what it is?"
One child blurted out, "Aces!"

MOSES AND THE RED SEA

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 army build a pontoon
bridge and all the people walked across safely. Then, he radioed
headquarters for reinforcements. They sent 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!"

THE LORD IS MY SHEPHERD

A Sunday School teacher decided to have her young class memorize
one of the most quoted passages in the Bible: Psalm 23.
She gave the youngsters a month to learn the verse.

Little Rick was excited about the task, but he just couldn't
remember the Psalm. After much practice, he could barely
get past the first line.

On the day that the kids were scheduled to recite Psalm 23
in front of the congregation, Ricky was so nervous.
When it was his turn, he stepped up to the microphone and said
proudly, "The Lord is my Shepherd, and that's all I need to know."

CHURCH SMILES

There was a very gracious lady who was mailing an old family
Bible to her brother in another part of the country. "Is there
anything breakable in here?" asked the postal clerk.
"Only the Ten Commandments," answered the lady.

AMISH HUMOR

While driving in Pennsylvania, a family caught up to an Amish
carriage. The owner of the carriage obviously had a sense of humor,
because attached to the back of the carriage was a hand printed
sign ...  "Energy efficient vehicle: Runs on oats and grass.
Caution: Do not step in exhaust."

SUNDAY SCHOOL LESSON

Sunday after church, a Mom asked her very young daughter what
the lesson was about.  The daughter answered, "Don't be scared,
you'll get your quilt." Needless to say, the Mom was perplexed.

Later in the day, the pastor stopped by for tea and the Mom asked
him what that morning's Sunday school lesson was about.  He said,
"Be not afraid, thy comforter is coming."
