Mother’s Day Children’s Sermon

Why it was that, the week before, when somebody passed to Ann the children’s sermon resource book, that made her immediately see that as MY obligation, I can’t say. It HAS happened before.

I do know that I totally forgot about it, what with all the packing and then the two days at the Naturalist Rally Friday and Saturday.

So I used what I had at hand (or better, under feet) to cobble a short message for Sunday morning. It did not have anything to do with mothers, really, though they could have been the recipients of the props: earthworms.

So rather that hitting the delete button on the outline for that 3 minute homily, I posted it here on CheckThis. Worth every penny ya paid for it.
