This Sunday (yesterday), along with the opening announcements I told parents that if I saw a child with a cell phone out during service, I would embarass them by calling them by name and telling them to put it away. I told the parents there was no need to be angry with me if I did that to their child as I had given them fair warning.

What think ye?
My son had a friend get kicked out of his senior year of high school because someone called him and he had forgotten to turn his phone off. He already had some demerits (or whatever they called them there) but he actually was permanently suspended because of a cell phone. If they can be that strict in school, I guess you can tell kids to turn them off in church! LOL
