During our church's worship service, the pastor
invites all the young children to join him near the altar
for the "Children's Moments Sermon."
One day, with seven small children in attendance,
he spoke about the ingredients required to make up a church,
using a chocolate-chip cookie as an example. He explained
to the children that, as with a cookie requiring ingredients
such as sugar and eggs, the church needed ingredients to make
up the congregation. Holding a cookie aloft, he asked, "If
I took the chocolate chips out of this cookie, what would
I have?"
A shy six-year-old raised his hand. "Six less
grams of fat," he replied.
