I have had thoughts of using the story of Eutychus for a Bible lesson that I will give two weeks from yesterday. The story is interesting, but I need to study it some more.
Here are some links that I have found so far:
http://www.christiancourier.com/articles/read/the_case_of_eutychus
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Eutychus
My biggest problem is that my intended audience is 3rd – 6th grade. I think the idea of someone falling asleep during a sermon could be fun and interesting to them, but what lesson could they learn from it?
Maybe at least I can flesh out the Wikipedia article some.

I think my pastor preached on that passage recently. He focused not on the kid going to sleep (understandable–long meeting, late night, long day at work before that, warm room), but on Paul’s concern for him and the tightness of the church as a family body.
