Children’s Homily
The Rev. Melanie McCarley
Welcome. The children are invited to come and have a seat with me.
As you can see, we’ve begun a new season at church. Lent! There are lots of symbols we associate with this holy season. Can you name some of them?
(the color purple, crown of thorns, palm branches, a bag of silver coins to symbolize Judas’ betrayal of Jesus, nails)

There’s a great Calvin and Hobbes cartoon where Calvin says to his tiger friend Hobbes, “I feel bad that I called Susie names and hurt her feelings. I’m sorry I did it.”
“Maybe you should apologize to her,” Hobbes suggests. Calvin ponders this for a moment and replies “I keep hoping there’s a less obvious solution.”
