Leader:

Good to see everyone today! I have a question to ask: Where is God?

Children:

Up in the sky.

Leader:

Up in the sky. Anywhere else? Is God here?

Children:

Yes. God is everywhere!

Leader:

If God is everywhere, then God is here too, right? Where?

Children:

Here!

Leader:

Where?

Children:

Here!

Leader:

Well, let’s look and see if we can find out where God is here. Why don’t some of us go look out in the pews, some of us need to go look in the choir, and some might come up here. Maybe God is in the pulpit. (Be sure to look in and around the pulpit, to help demystify that great bulk of furniture!) Oh, maybe we will find God in the baptismal font; let’s look in there. What do you think?

Children:

Too small.

​Leader:

Too small. Okay, how about under the chairs over there? (To children at back of sanctuary:) Did you find God back there? No? Did anybody check the choir? . . . They look suspicious; better check ’em out. Somebody check over there underneath the piano, would you? Not there either? Well, okay, everybody, come on back here. We’ll just have to sit down again and think about this. We can’t find God or see God, but we know God is here. So, where is God?

Children:

I know where God is . . . God is everywhere and invisible.

Leader:

God is everywhere and invisible? I wish you’d said that earlier! My, you are clever! That’s exactly right. God is here with us, but not only just here but everywhere, all the time, and that makes God pretty amazing.

Children:

God’s beside you.

Leader:

That’s right! God is beside every one of us. Well, let’s talk to God and thank God for being beside all of us and everywhere. (Prayer)
