Good morning! Well, here we are in church on a Saturday
morning. Why are we in church today? (Let them answer.) Yes,
today is New Year's Day. And this is a very special New Year's
Day because it is the first year in any of our lives that does
not start with nineteen hundred. Look at this new calendar. (Show
the calendar.) See how this year is 2000 and not nineteen
anything. You know I am ____ years old, and every year in my
whole life has started with nineteen. This is really a brand-new
thing for me and for all of us.
