Saturday 5:30pm

It is the general expectation for us Protestant and Roman Catholic clergy, to go through college and then to a seminary institution to help prepare us for this wonderful human artform we call congregational ministry. But towards the end of that part of our education journey, we, like with many other career preparation paths, are expected to fulfill a year, and now sometimes, even two years’ worth of an internship experience, where we hopefully gain some more hands-on learning, and perhaps put some of our Biblical studies and theology training and pastoral care-honing into actual practice....

A little journey through this topsy-turvy journey of joys and sorrows and hopes and dreams with plenty of grace from God along the way.

It has become an artform in of itself: the children’s sermon (or if you want to call it children’s time, children’s moment, or whatever we attempting-to-be cool churches wish to call it now to make it more inviting, I suppose). Entire books have been written about it. Seminary preaching classes will spend multiple sessions on it. We try to make it interesting enough for the children that they actually get something out of it, while also attempting to ensure a care-free laid-back nature to it, so that they may actually believe church isn’t supposed to be intimidating with the other high-and-mighty adults in a big room worshiping a high-and-mighty God. Safe to say, we’re still trying to figure this artform out, and not make it about satisfying the other…more life-experienced children-in-the-eyes-of-God in the big room.
