Amen.Īn afterthought: The week after I shared this children’s sermon, I blogged about something a child said in response to it that ministered to me- but that the congregation didn’t hear. In 1998 he won the Caldecott Honor for his No, David. He graduated from the Art Center College of Design and now lives in Los Angeles. He is an American author and illustrator. Help us as we learn to follow you more closely. David Shannon was born October 5, 1960, Washington, D.C. Let’s pray: Dear God, We come to you, knowing that we have good moments and bad moments. We come with our mix of good and bad, to be with God and try to do better. And we have things we need God to help us with- and we need our church to help us with. We have things that we bring to God and to church that are really good. And it’s the same way when we come to church- just like in today’s Bible story. Everyone has good moments and not so good moments- gifts and struggles. People aren’t all good or all bad, are they? No. I wonder if there’s a character that acts like God in the story, and if so, how? (Allow children to respond.) I wonder if there is a character that acts like you in the story. Have you ever said any of these things or done any of these things? It was an accident! Do I have to? I couldn’t help it! Me, too. Soon, though, David realizes that making excuses makes him feel bad, and saying hes sorry makes him feel better. I’ll read it quickly but you can enjoy a copy on our Children’s Hallway. It’s by David Shannon and it’s called David Gets in Trouble. Someone may have read it to you when you were little. I brought a book with me that I’d like to share with you this morning. How children love this book! I think I know why! (And it’s not just because David forgets to put on pants and walks down the street in his underwear!) Everybody gets in trouble.
