Feasting on the Word Guide to Children's Sermons equips church leaders and children's ministry volunteers to deliver children's sermons that are free of gimmicks and simplistic conclusions, that welcome children into the family of faith, and that give a foundation in God's good news for all people. This volume will address the common questions pastors have about the children's sermon, steps on avoiding common pitfalls, suggestions on how to use the children's time in a church following the lectionary, and sample Bible stories for use in the children's time.
The Bartletts bring a wealth of knowledge and experience to addressing the perennial question of children's place in worship. Their desire to keep the biblical story of Good News at the center of the lives of all God's children, but especially the youngest disciples, is where the church's focus should be. Pastors, Educators, and all those who love children will find help and encouragement in these pages to tell the stories of faith as Jesus did.
From the first chapter to the last story, this is a valuable resource for anyone who is responsible for the children's time or sermon in worship. The Bartletts take this activity seriously as a theological and liturgical enterprise, but they also understand its place as a hospitable practice towards children (and adults, for who doesn't enjoy a well-told story). Follow their lead and this element of worship will be transformed for everyone.
