Nourishing Seeds of Faith is an interdenominational collection of mini-sermons that teach four- to eight-year-olds in worship services about God and how God wants them to live. Fun activities and simple language that children understand show pastors, laity, and home-schoolers ways to attract children and hold their attention. Beginning with Advent, the messages follow the birth, life, death, and resurrection of Jesus. Interspersed throughout the book are topics appropriate for seasonal and secular holidays as well. Each five- to ten-minute sermon includes its theme, Scripture reference, preparation tips, and a prayer. ‘Stretching Further’ presents ideas for extending the teaching and involvement of the listeners.
