Feasting on the Word: Children's Sermons for Year A

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 four stories for special moments in the church's life: the installation of a new pastor (1 Samuel 16:1-13), communion Sunday or Maundy Thursday (Matthew 26:17-20, 26-30), a congregational mission project (2 Corinthians 8:1-9:15), and the death of a church member (Romans 8:38).

This resource provides pastors and other church leaders with fresh, engaging stories that children will understand and enjoy.

Please note that though these resources follow the lectionary, only one of the four lectionary texts for each Sunday is adapted into a children's story.
