Places Of The Promise
The Advent/Christmas story is one that identifies specific places as the font of the rich interactions between God and humanity. The names of such locales are as familiar to us as our own homes.
Here are six sermons with accompanying children's sermons. The series covers Advent 1 through Christmas 1. Each sermon focuses on the particular sphere God used to prepare creation for the gift of Jesus.
The sermons
*Texts from Lectionary Cycle B
*Other suggested texts
*Suggestions for congregational activities
The children's sermons follow an advent wreath-lighting series. Following Christmas, these sermons use the Christmas tree and the creche scene as themes. Each children's sermon offers at least three objects to use as illustrations.
