What grade?
Children's sermon
Object:
a marker and pad and today's newspaper
Good morning. I was reading this morning's paper and
noticed some things that have happened recently. (Here you can
lift positive items from the paper of things people have done
well: heroic actions, high test scores, new inventions, and so
forth.) If we were teachers giving these people grades, what
kind of grade would we give? (At this point go through each of
the articles mentioned earlier and give each character a grade.
You could even give lesser characters in today's news lower
grades. Young children will not understand the concept of
grades.)
