Children’s Sermon with Pastor Chris & D. Evans – UCC Access Sunday

On this UCC Access Sunday, our children learned about access—and how God’s love makes room for everyone. Guest leader D Evans joined Pastor Chris to show how people move through the world in different ways. Braces, crutches, and walkers became tools of courage and connection, each reminding us that accessibility is another word for welcome.

Our kids’ curiosity filled the Sanctuary. They discovered that when we see what helps others thrive, we begin to understand what community really means.

Then, as the message came to a close, D taught both the children and the congregation a few words in American Sign Language—and together they learned a short, joy-filled signed song. Hands moved, faces lit up, and hearts opened wider to God’s inclusive love.

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

And as Pastor Chris reminded us this Sunday—our prayers have been answered! Families are arriving, our Children’s Church is growing, and now we need more caring adults to help nurture that growth. 🌱
