Preface for Parents and Pastors Here’s a children’s sermon on Mark 1:40-45. It is actually the text assigned in the lectionary for the 6ᵗʰ Sunday after Epiphany.

That’s one of four options offered to churches in the Revised Common Lectionary, as I detailed in my Monday Meditation on this passage back in 2021.
