80 Biblically Based Children's Sermons
Object:
An extension cord and a small lamp.
As the children gather I set a lamp on the floor and begin untangling an extension cord which I have previously determined is long enough to reach from the chancel steps to the outlet in the front of the sanctuary. Then I welcome the children and ask, "What do I need to do to get this lamp to work?"
"Plug it in," several children assert as one voice.
"Okay, then ... Let's see, we need a power source ..." I begin to look around as if to find an outlet.
"There's a plug over there!" Jennifer announces, pointing it out.
