Preaching With Children Soup Supper and Presentation

Preaching in settings with children can be one of the most difficult challenges preachers face. Whether you are a minister, teacher, chaplain, or Sunday school leader (or looking forward to serving in one of those roles in the future!) this session will offer practical help in crafting sermons specifically for children.

Drawing on insights gleaned over the past 70 years within the Catechesis of the Good Shepherd movement, Dr. Ann Garrido will introduce key characteristics of childhood and children’s spirituality and present ways to reflect on Scripture through the lens of the young child. Preachers will discover possibilities for preaching with children, rather than preaching to them. Attendees at the Wartburg campus will receive a complimentary copy of Ann’s book, Preaching with Children (Liturgy Training Publications, 2022).

This talk is made possible through the generous funding of the LIlly Endowment’s Christian Parenting and Caregiving Initiative.
