There was a boy who, when he saw the priest raise the cross, thought it was a magic wand and asked if he could use it to turn his sister into a frog. And a girl who thought the hymn books were coloring books and started scribbling in one. Additionally, a little boy who was so bored during the long sermon that he started making paper airplanes out of the church bulletin and launched them across the aisle.
Sure. A kid once saw the kneelers and thought they were mini - beds. So he laid down on one during the service. Another child thought the bells in the church tower were for him to ring and tried to climb up there. Also, there was a small girl who thought the font was a fishpond and asked if there were fish in it.
One time, a child saw the incense being burned and thought it was a magic smoke. He started waving his hands through it, saying he was a wizard. Another kid thought the pews were like train cars and made 'choo - choo' noises as he walked along them. Also, a girl who thought the statues in the church were real people and started having a conversation with one, asking it how its day was.
Once, during a Sunday school play in the church, a little boy was supposed to be an angel. But instead of wearing the white robe gracefully, he tripped on it while walking onto the stage and ended up rolling a bit. Everyone burst into laughter. It was so cute and unexpected.
One story is about a little boy who thought the offering plate was a magic hat. When it came to him, he put in his toy car and expected it to come back to him all shiny and new. Another is a girl who saw the priest's long robes and asked if he was a wizard. And there was a kid who fell asleep during the sermon and started snoring really loudly, which made everyone around him giggle.
At a church wedding, the flower girl got distracted by a butterfly right before she was supposed to walk down the aisle. Instead of scattering the flower petals, she chased the butterfly all around the churchyard. The guests were amused as they watched the little girl's adventure while the bride and groom just smiled. It made for a very memorable and funny start to the wedding ceremony.
There was a young boy who thought he could become invisible if he closed his eyes. So one day when his mother was looking for him, he closed his eyes and stood still in the middle of the room. His mother found him easily and said, 'Honey, closing your eyes doesn't make you invisible.' But he replied, 'But it worked in my dreams!'
There are quite a few. For instance, a young boy thought that the altar was a stage and started doing a little dance during the sermon. He thought he was supposed to be the entertainment. Another kid got really excited when he saw the stained - glass windows and started pointing and shouting about all the colors, not realizing it was a quiet time in the service. And a girl who, when the choir started singing, thought they were having a karaoke session and started singing at the top of her lungs her favorite nursery rhyme.
Once, a new choir member got so nervous on their first performance day in church. They were supposed to sing soprano but ended up singing tenor for half of the song until they realized their mistake and turned bright red. Everyone in the church had a good laugh, but also gave them a big round of applause for their courage.
A scary church story involves a portrait in a church. The eyes of the figure in the portrait seem to follow you around the room. Parishioners have reported feeling watched and uneasy whenever they are near it. Some believe it was painted by an artist who made a pact with the devil and infused some dark energy into the work.
I remember a story where kids were decorating the church for a special occasion. One boy accidentally glued his hand to a big poster of Jesus. He was a bit scared at first but then when the others saw it, they all found it really funny. It was a situation full of laughter in the end. Well, they managed to get his hand free without any harm done. It's just one of those things that make church memories with kids so special.
A boy who mistook the collection basket for a basketball hoop and tried to 'dunk' his coin in. It was hilarious as he jumped up and down. Another memorable one was a girl who asked the pastor if Jesus had a pet dinosaur. It was such an innocent and unexpected question that made everyone chuckle.
Once, a little boy in church thought the collection plate was for sharing his toys. So he put his favorite little car in it. Everyone had a good laugh when the pastor found it later.
