Our story unfolds with two children walking down the sidewalk, as they
come upon another friend, Frank, sitting on his front steps. |
| |
|
| Frank |
Hi guys, what are you up to? |
| |
|
| Chris |
We're on our way to church and Sunday school.
|
| |
|
| Frank |
I believe in Jesus and I go to church sometimes, but Sunday school takes
up too much of my valuable time. |
| |
|
| Tim |
So what are you up to Frank? |
| |
|
| Frank |
I'm checking out my baseball cards. This is my favorite player, Johnny
Lighting. His batting average is 290, bats and throws right handed, was
born 3/11/67 in Bloomington Indiana. He loves cheese pizza and hamburgers.
You know, I use his batting style, when I play little league baseball. |
| |
|
| Chris |
Frank, you say you believe in Jesus. Do you know His stats? |
| |
|
| Frank |
What do you mean? |
| |
|
| Tim |
You know, where He was born, who were His disciples, name some of His
miracles, what type of food He ate, and how He died. |
| |
|
| Frank |
Ahhh, I think one of His disciples was named Noah. |
| |
|
| Chris |
Wrong answer, not even close. When we stand before God what do you think
will matter the most, knowing baseball stats and maybe being a good ball
player or knowing Jesus and sharing the Good News with others? |
| |
|
| Tim |
One day your cards will probably be sold in a garage sale for a few dollars.
If you follow Jesus, you could be storing up treasure in Heaven. Now that's
the way to spent your valuable time! |
| |
|
| Frank |
Gee I never thought of it that way... Care if I join you in Sunday School? |
| |
|
| Chris & Tim |
Good choice, let's go! |

The three children continue on their way to Sunday school when they see
their friend Amy listening to music. |
| |
|
| Amy |
Hi guys, what are you up to?
|
| |
|
| Frank |
We're on our way to church and Sunday school. |
| |
|
| Amy |
I believe in Jesus and I go to church sometimes, but Sunday school takes
up too much of my valuable time. I'd rather listen to this new band called..... |
| |
|
| Frank, Tim & Chris |
Laugh, here we go again.... |

As the story ends our three friends explain to Amy how important it is
to go to Sunday school. How it's important to spent time with God and to
learn as much as we can about Him. How can we follow Him if we don't know
much about Him? If we don't learn about God, how can we tell others about
Him and His wonderful love? Sunday School is a place for young and old to
learn more about God. It's also a great place to make good friends! |
