Children’s Sermon with Pastor Chris

This week Pastor Chris invited our children into the message with a backpack full of surprises—an alarm clock, toy cars, tennis balls, even a reading light. One by one, he pulled out the items and asked the kids to think about how things can begin to weigh us down. When a few children tried to lift the backpack themselves, the whole congregation laughed at their wide-eyed reactions!

Through their questions and energy, our children helped us see the sermon’s truth in real time: that life isn’t about carrying more, but about living with less—so we have room for God’s love, joy, and grace.

At Holy Covenant, children are not the future of the church—they are the church right now. Their curiosity and joy lead us deeper into God’s story every week.
