Object:
Various members of the congregation you have spoken to
ahead of time (You might arrange to have them sit fairly near the
front of the church.)
Good morning! Are most of the children of the congregation
here for the children's sermon? (Let them answer.) It would seem
that most of you are here. But I see some children who are not
sitting here with us. They are sitting in the pews. Let's see if
I can find some more children in this congregation. (Go to one of
the members you have spoken to ahead of time. You can ask him/her
questions about how he/she became a child of God, or you can say,
"(Name) became a child of God on (date) and has been a child of
God ever since."
