Bible Reference: Leviticus 7-10
Introduce the lesson with the following story:
Once upon a time, all the leaders in our church got tired of doing the same old things. They decided that this Sunday, they would all do something different.
Everyone came to church and sat down, as usual. When it was time for the service to begin, [worship
leader] asked the congregation to stand up and quack like ducks. Everyone was surprised, but they obediently quacked like ducks until [worship
leader] asked them to stop.
Next it was [Person who read announcements] turn. He usually tells the church about all the opportunities during the week to meet together for fellowship, but this week, he suggested we all stay home and watch TV.
[worship leader] thanked [Person who read announcements], (he is very polite) and then asked everyone to make motorcycle noises for two minutes.
Next, [elder who reads scripture] walked to the front of the auditorium with a book in his hand. We were all sure he was going to read from the Bible, but he didn’t. He read to us a very interesting story about butterflies in South America, and then he sat down.
Someone passed out doughnuts and coffee, and we all had some, except the children, who had milk instead.
Next [insert pastor’s name] walked up the steps to the pulpit. It was very quiet as everyone waited for him to pray, as he usually does, but this week he decided to do something different. [insert pastor’s name] took out a telephone and called the president of the United States! We could all hear the conversation over the microphone. “Mr. President,” he said, “What do you think about our church?” The president was very confused, and didn’t understand why [insert pastor’s name] called him during church, but he wished us all the best and suggested {pastor’s name] tell us a story.
So after [insert pastor’s name] got off the phone, [insert pastor’s name] didn’t talk about God. He told us all about the shopping trip when he bought his shoes. We all admired his new shoes, (they were lovely) and then we went home.
