4. The Hidden Corn

Colossians 3:3

Children's Sermon

Object: An ear of corn. Good morning, boys and girls. How many of you watch the corn grow? (Let them answer.)

At least the part that is called the stalk and the leaves does. It is tall and green, but nob...

Colossians 3:1-11

Children's Sermon

King Duncan

Object: A costume or mask Boys and girls, how many of you like to dress up as someone else?
