Separation – by Edvard Munch
Have you ever gotten separated from your parents? Maybe in a crowded place, you turned around and suddenly they were gone? And you looked all around, and couldn’t see them anywhere? Getting separated from the people you love can be very scary.

Year A – Proper 9 – 5th Sunday after Pentecost
Gospel Reading: Matthew 11:18-19 New Living Translation (NLT) 18 For John didn’t spend his time eating and drinking, and you say, ‘He’s possessed by a demon.’ 19 The Son of Man, on the other hand, feasts and drinks, and you say, ‘He’s a glutton and a drunkard, and a friend of tax collectors and other sinners!’ But wisdom is shown to be right by its results.â€
Have you ever met someone who says

Baabara the Sheep wants a job, but first she has to learn about wages. Grudge the Rat wants an easy job for lots of money. It’s best to find out the wages of the work before you agree to do the job. A hard but healthy job with a good wage is better than an easy, destructive job with a deadly wage. Romans 6:23 – “For the wages of sin is death, but the free gift of God is eternal life through Jesus Christ

Year A – Proper 8 – June 28, 4th Sunday after Pentecost
Romans 6:20 – 23 “In those days when you were slaves of sin you didn’t bother much with goodness. And what was the result?

Baabara the sheep asks about a difficult Bible verse in Matthew chapter 10 where Jesus tells his followers, “Those who love their father or mother more than me are not fit to be my disciples.” We love our fathers, but should we love them more than God. What is the highest love?

“Father and Son” by Shai Yossef – Click link to purchase art
You might think that today’s Gospel lesson is a bit strange to be the reading for the Sunday that happens to be Father’s Day. Today we honor fathers and we remember that the Bible often refers to God as our Father. In the Lord’s Prayer, we say “Our Father, who art in heaven,†or “Dear Father in heaven, may your name be holy.†And

“What does that mean, ‘Sheep among wolves?” Baabara asks about a Bible verse in Matthew. Loupy the Wolf wants to know about it too. Why would Jesus send disciples into a dangerous situation, when he is the Good Shepherd? And who is a “wolf” anyways? Join Baabara and Loupy as they talk about God’s love and protection.
Year A – Revised Common Lectionary – Proper 6 – June 14, 2020
Scriptures: Matthew 9:35-10:8(9-23)
If a sheep went up against a wolf in a battle out in the wilderness, who would probably win? One of the animals is a predator with sharp teeth and the other has no natural defenses besides the ability to see a predator sneaking up from behind and the ability to run away.
But what if a sheep under the protection of a shepherd with a long

Baabara has questions about the Holy Trinity. Do God the Father, Jesus and the Holy Spirit treat each other well? What does it mean to be three-in-one? If God is the Father of us all, how should we treat each other? And when is a good time to read Winnie-the-Pooh?
A Children’s Sermon for the first Sunday after Pentecost: Trinity Sunday – RCL Year A
Scriptures: Matthew 28:16-20 and 2 Corinthians 13:11-13
Today is the first Sunday after Pentecost. It is also called “Trinity Sunday.†This is a Sunday when we remember that God is three persons in one God. Throughout history, humans have struggled with this idea, and some have even started new religions because they could not understand how God could be One being and Three persons at the same time.
