Church Service Family Style: How a 3 Year Old Preacher & a
Beagle Made Our Sunday Unforgettable
One unforgettable Sunday our church had a three-year- old
preacher, an organist who could play one song, an altercation
involving the offering and a visiting beagle who knocked over
the pulpit. It happened this way.
Our family car was down at the shop getting its indigestion
cured and our shop recuperating from an over-exposure of truck
bumper. So there we were, without wheels, on a rainy Sunday
morning. Since our church is clear across town and out of
walking distance, we decided to hold our own family church
service in our living room.
Our four kids were delighted. Kurt, the senior sibling at nine
years old, drew up plans while we finished breakfast.
