The following sites consist of Children's Sermons and Lessons which primarily follow the Revised Common Lectionary.   Nonetheless, because of the dearth of Children's Resources for Lectionary Preaching on the Net, there are some non-lectionary scripturally indexed resources listed here. The reader will note that most of our original sermons and liturgies for the three year lectionary cycle include a children's story or lesson which can be accessed through the Year A, B, and C pages listed on our main page. If you know of a good link, please write us (brett @ clergy.net) with your suggestion.
