If not, I'd do something for them. Not to say that your talk isn't good... Maybe you could do a kids spot telling them what to listen out for.Simone R.https://www.blogger.com/profile/05248239853519762027noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-911707550436621468.post-17140517144294400222010-05-10T22:45:19.009+10:002010-05-10T22:45:19.009+10:00ouch! good work simone and not just for kids.ouch! good work simone and not just for kids.Chris Lhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08715151260861133081noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-911707550436621468.post-71601926654819764662010-05-10T22:10:26.708+10:002010-05-10T22:10:26.708+10:00At the morning service the preacher leads the whol...At the morning service the preacher leads the whole service and does the kids talk. It's exhausting and could be done much better. <br /><br />The kids go out to sunday school straight after the kids talk just as the congregation are turning to the second Rejoice hymn.<br /><br />The sermon, kids talk and sunday school are rarely related.<br /><br />There's no kids talk or sunday school at the 5pm service - even though there are often up to a dozen kids.

But it's not much fun as a preacher hearing the kids talk take away any sort of suspense or resolution that you might want to build in the talk.Alistair Bainhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15099359104986717330noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-911707550436621468.post-86025862835317524402010-05-10T21:33:53.931+10:002010-05-10T21:33:53.931+10:00If we were working the same book for kids' tal...If we were working the same book for kids' talks and sermons I might go one week behind Andrew so it acts as a kind of review for the adults. (And so I could steal his exegesis.) But I might not. What's the worst thing that could happen?

Our sunday school is doing Romans at the moment so the kids talks are kind of redundant - but we want something in the main service for kids. I think it's working quite well doing 1 Samuel stuff while Andrew is preaching 2 Samuel. I can't steal his thunder this way but the themes of 1 Samuel are v. similar to 2 Samuel. And it's good if the adults go into the sermon with 1 Samuel content fresh in their minds.Simone R.https://www.blogger.com/profile/05248239853519762027noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-911707550436621468.post-79603579159891128492010-05-10T19:00:20.536+10:002010-05-10T19:00:20.536+10:00Is this during the service?
