- After pondering the Parable of the Hidden Treasure, a 5 year old girl said, "The Kingdom is all the people in heaven." She was asked, "How is that like a treasure?" The child responded, "Because heaven is filled with the Great Light."
- After reading "Thy Kingdom come" from the Scripture card on the prayer table, the children were asked why we might pray these words. There was a time of silence and then a 3 year old boy said, "The Kingdom of God brings peace and love." This was followed by a 6 year old boy, saying, "It's like when the Light comes! When the people who walked in darkness have seen a great light!" The children were then asked, "What would it be like if God's Kingdom was here? A 5 year old girl responded, "It would be filled with Light! If you were hungry and needed a snack before dinner the Light would show you where to go! You wouldn't ever be hungry!"
- Three 1st grade children were pondering the Parable of the Found Coin. In thinking about the parable, one child the parable reminded him of the Parable of the Pearl of Great Price. He said the coins were like the Kingdom of God. He was asked if we can lose just part of the Kingdom and he responded, "Yes." Another child added, "That's what happens when we sin. We lose a coin." They continued, "So we are the woman and the lamp we light to help find the coin is Jesus. He is the light." They were asked, then, about the broom that helps the woman sweep to find the lost coin. One of the children said, "The broom the woman sweeps with is the Holy Spirit."
