Preface for Pastors and Parents This children’s sermon on Mark 14:12-16 is another bonus one. This passage is included in the long Passion narrative assigned by the Revised Common Lectionary for Palm Sunday (aka Passion Sunday). But, as with several other parts of that big story, this sort of stands on its own. I think […]
A Children’s Sermon on Mark 14:3-9 — The Anointing at Bethany
Preface for Pastors and Parents This children’s sermon on Mark 14:3-9 is sort of a bonus. My main plan is to do children’s sermons on all the Gospel texts assigned in the Revised Common Lectionary.

However, like in many years, we were well into Lent by then, so the text didn’t come up. I’m trying to post children’s sermons for all the Sunday Gospels of Year B of […]
