During Season 1 of my sabbatical I finished work on resources for children’s ministry. Specifically, the resources are designed to help the persons, lay or clergy, that are crafting the children’s sermon each week. The resources, Sacred Steps, follow the Lectionary and offer ideas for ways one could craft a children’s sermon on the texts each week.
Sacred Steps provides a starting point for your imagination and thinking about the Lectionary texts as they pertain to the lives of children. Sacred Steps treats each text as its own work, trusting that each text, blended with your community’s experience and your life experience of the week, can inform your work to make the biblical story alive in the mind’s eye of a child.
I’ve made these resources, and others found at Sacred Steps, free for Oklahoma Disciples congregations and clergy. I have a limited number of codes I can provide to use as check-out on iBooks. Please email me to receive a code OR you can choose to purchase one or more of the books. The proceeds from the sales through June 1 will benefit our Mission Camp Road Show trip, July 7-13.
And it is that time of year when congregations are selecting VBS curriculum. Click here to download a review of the major titles this year from the folks at buildfaith.org
