Out of the mouths of babes
Our preaching text this morning was Luke 5:1-11. As you probably know, in the NRSV verse 10 reads "...you will be catching people." The parishioner who brought the children's sermon today began with that text, then proceeded to tell the children extemporaneously how Jesus would make us "fishers of men." She said that several times. Finally after about the third "men", a little girl spoke up, "But what if they're GIRLS??"

What did Ms. Children's sermon have to say to that?
Well, trying to leave you a comment - but Blogger doesn't seem to like me!
Congratulations on being January's Trivia Challenge winner! You rock!
Let me know what your topic is you will like. you can email me at catnip56@bellsouth.net
Ms. Children's Sermon said something like, "Uh, yes, you can use 'girls'", which, from the back of the church, sounded to the Scientist something like, "you can use girls to catch men"! The intended message doesn't always come across!
Cathy--I didn't know you were catnipper--email coming up!
ROFL~~~~ That is just TOOO cute... and I have to send that to other folks I know who will appreciate the wisdom of that young woman!
And CONGRATS on the trivia win!

Amen to that little sister. It reminds me of the little girl who, as the creche figures were placed, asked, "Why weren't there any wise WOMEN?"
Now that church always places the Three Wise Persons in the creche at Epiphany.
Congrats on the trivia top spot!
Yes, using girls to catch men. That's a sound evangelism strategy. Oh, yes.
P.S. to Songird's: "Next on E!.......Girls catching Boys for God!" LOL
Oh that is so cute.
Just give him a few years.
Evidently the Children's Sermon training program needs more work!
Congrats on winning the Trivia Contest! I'm happy just to finish in the top ten.
