Feasting on the Word Childrens's Sermons for Year A

By Carol A Wehrheim

Many pastors are confused about what to say during children's time in churches. Feasting on the Word Children's Sermons for Year A offers practical suggestions for preparing and delivering the children's sermon. After explaining the purpose of the children's sermon, noted Christian educator Carol Wehrheim provides a story for each Sunday of the church year based on the Revised Common Lectionary. In addition, she provides a few stories for special moments in the church's life, such as when a mission group is commissioned, church leaders are ordained, or a death occurs. This resource provides pastors and other church leaders with fresh, engaging stories that children will understand and enjoy.
