How old are the boys Diana? Boys have tons of energy don't they? I would give them several short activities which they have to focus on. If they are reading, you might also have them read out loud. They seem to quiet down, probably out of fear, when they have to read out loud.
How does the church feel about involving the parents if a child is not behaving? I found that a lot of boys respond to that. You can also call them on the side and ask "I know your mother did not raise you to ______. What would she say if I told her what you are doing?"
I also would not take them outside until they learn how to behave inside. Let them run around at home!
