You may think this odd that I have been a priest for 10 years and never preached a Children’s sermon before this, but it is true. My parish really never had children, well in the time I have been here anyway, until now and we are very thankful for that.
So this past Sunday, December 7th, I preached the first, of what I hope to be a monthly tradition, my first Children’s Sermon. I focused on the story of St. Nicholas helping the three maids with their dowry and in the end gave them all coins. I think it went well.
I will be honest and tell you I was a little nervous but in the end it was a fun experience for me and I hope the kids.
