Children's Sermons To Go: 52 Take Home Lessons about God [Paperback]

Deborah Raney (Author), Vicky Miller (Author)

Book Description

Children's Sermons to Go is a collection of 52 sermons for children. Each sermon first gives a Bible verse and then illustrates that verse with a short anecdote. Each sermon lists easy-to-find household materials the preacher or worship leader can bring to give a visual demonstration that illustrates the truths presented in the sermon. The distinguishing feature of this sermon collection, however, is the small, inexpensive gifts or trinkets - mementos - that each child carries away from the children's sermon, thus giving the children a concrete object that helps them remember the message given in that day's children's sermon.

5.0 out of 5 stars A great resource book for children's sermons, April 4, 2000

This review is from: Children's Sermons To Go: 52 Take Home Lessons about God (Paperback)

There are several things I like about this book. The every-day, easy to find objects used in the sermons are items that children in my church quickly identify. The stories are interesting to adults and children and I don't have to add much to them. There are also special occasion lessons, such as Father's Day and Super Bowl Sunday. The book includes both a scripture index and a topical index that I found very helpful.

This review is from: Children's Sermons To Go: 52 Take Home Lessons about God (Paperback)

As the former director children's church at my church, I heartily recommend this book. The lessons are straightforward and easily understood and the craft/visual aids are simple and won't have you running all over town to find the components. If you don't want to weigh yourself down with bulky curriculum every Sunday, give this a try. Great for family time too!

I mistakinly created a wonderful children's sermon/moment that took me 2 weeks to get just right. When I was asked to create another a few weeks later I was distraught! How could I repeat something that I had poured so much effort into! I started searching the internet and found this book. It is exactly what I needed to incorporate ideas, scripture and fun into a children's moment during our worship. Now when I am asked to take another turn at a children's moment, I just ask when?
