... us and helping to make this day very special. Some of them are your friends - maybe even your brother or sister. Here are some books. They help us learn new things and give us enjoyment by the hour. They are a big part of our schooling, and before you graduate you will have read many of them. We give thanks for all the people everywhere who write books. Maybe some day some of you will become authors. A book is a friend.

... just shout at you across the street? [Let them answer.] Maybe he sent you one of these. [Hold up the invitation.] This is what we call an invitation.

If it is his graduation, then he has worked hard to reach the day when he can say that he is finished with what he has been studying and that he is ready to go to work or to go on to some more studying. If it is a wedding, you know that he wants ...

Children's Sermon

... means. It's obvious from the decorations in the lobby that it must be an occasion for a party. Why do people have parties?" "To celebrate something!" "That's one reason. What sorts of things do you celebrate with a party?" "Graduation!" comes the firm response from a child with older siblings. "Yes. And the graduation of our seniors is one of the things we are celebrating in our church today. But what is another reason you have a party -- what is a reason every one of you has had a party or been to a party ...

7. A House For God

Hebrews 3:6

Children's Sermon

... The same thing is true for your house, the place where you live. That's where we meet the people we love and care about. That's where we do things together that we will remember the rest of our lives - have meals together, celebrate birthdays and baptisms and graduations together, visit with our friends, get a good night's rest. Our house is a good place to let us strengthen ourselves to become better at what we are supposed to do day after day. It's almost like a "service station" to build us up for living ...

Children's Sermon

Wesley T. Runk

... him my robe, or better yet, if he wanted proof, I could show him my ordination certificate. It looks like a diploma. The church gives this kind of a diploma to all of its pastors. This diploma is proof that I went to school to become a pastor. When you graduate from high school and college, you will receive a diploma. That will be proof that you went to school. I think I will show him this piece of paper as proof that I am a pastor. Jesus never had a diploma. Jesus never had a piece of paper signed by ...

John 17:20-26

Children's Sermon

King Duncan

Object: A school annual (Or an autograph album) Good morning, boys and girls. It's a wonderful thing to have friends, isn't it? And it's sad when friends move away. In a way it's sad for your older brothers and sisters when they graduate from school, because they know that they won't see some of their friends again. One of the ways older young people try to remember their friends and their happy days in schools is to have their friends write in their school annuals. That way they have their own autograph ...
