Children's Sabbath: Scripture Reflections

Topics:Sunday service

Scripture Reflections – Today is Children’s Sabbath, and children are leading many parts of the service, including the sermon.  Emilia Fazio and Caroline Thompson deliver the sermon consisting of reflections on the very familiar Parable of the Mustard Seed in Luke 13.  Small things can make big differences, so they encourage us to do kind deeds every day that can grow into amazing things.  One example given was Greta Thunberg, a young Swedish activist who made great strides in raising awareness of climate change across the world. 

(NOTE:  Emphasizing the importance of the Word, the video begins with the scripture reading, but if you want, you can scroll back to the beginning of the service in the video – the entire service is available.  NOTE: There were some issues with microphones and speakers, so the sound is interrupted in places.)
