A Minister was walking down the street when he came upon a group of about a dozen boys, all of them between 10 and 12 years of age.
The group had surrounded a dog. Concerned lest the boys were hurting the dog, he went over and asked "What are you doing with that dog?"
One of the boys replied, "This dog is just an old neighborhood stray. We all want him, but only one of us can take him home. So we've decided that whichever one of us can tell the biggest lie will get to keep the dog."
Of course, the reverend was taken aback. "You boys shouldn't be having a contest telling lies!" he exclaimed. He then launched into a ten minute sermon against lying, beginning, "Don't you boys know it's a sin to lie," and ending with, "Why, when I was your age, I never told a lie."
There was dead silence for about a minute. Just as the reverend was beginning to think he'd gotten through to them, the smallest boy gave a deep sigh and said, "All right, give him the dog."
That story makes us smile.
Tomorrow, a story that will make us think.
We have two stories, really, truth be told - about telling the truth.
What starts as a sombre tale will come to make us appreciate God's truth for us and about us so it is seen through us.
Kids, you will be telling a story! We need your ideas!
Please join us - for praise, to pray with and for each other, to participate in a short but important meeting, and enjoy Lemonade on the Lawn with one another!
Music includes "The Goodness of Jesus" "Beneath the Cross of Jesus" "Behold Our God" and "There is One Gospel"
