"Sermon" on Caring for Creation Sunday (Ages 3-6 or 7). (Using wide gestures, big facial gestures, exageration in voices. About 4-5 minutes.)

Enclosed you will find a copy of the Youth Sunday Worship service held at Calvary, Concord. I am sending for the files a copy of the bulletin, the script (Who Needs God), and a list of needed resources.

This past week at L-RC there was a special spiritual awareness week. And among the guests and speakers that were present was a man who may be known to you through the Lutheran, Walter Wangerin Jr. And just this morning I was looking over the Lutheran, since I did not have to prepare as long a sermon as I generally do, and was looking at Walter's article there and I saw some things that were very pertinent related to the message today.

Can anyone tell me where to find the word "Christmas" in the Bible? Probably not, because the word is nowhere to be found in that book. Well, how about the word "Easter?" Now we are in the church season of Lent. Do you think "Lent" can be found in the Bible? Isn't that interesting, none of these three words can be found in God's word, because they are words which have been used in the Church to mark our days of celebration and our days of preparation for Easter, and they call came into use after the Bible was written.
