Book Overview
Planting Seeds of Faith provides entertaining ten-minute lessons for use in worship services with four- to eight-year-olds. It is an encore presentation of the immensely popular book, The Brown Bag, that debuted in 1978.Each message focuses on a Scripture passage and includes a take-away, an object or suggestion of a way to apply and share faith away from the church -- learning by doing. An optional feature, Stretching Further, enables more discussion on abstract concepts.Some of the twenty-six sermons and their focus are: Did Jesus Have A Christmas Tree? (Hosea 14:8)We can count on God to be our friend and helper through all seasons of the year.A Valentine from God (Psalm 103:11-12)The Bible is a love letter from God to us.Pretzels and Prayers (Jeremiah 29:12)God always hears us -- whenever, wherever, and however we pray.Going Fishing (Matthew 4:19; Mark 1:17)When we follow Jesus, we can attract others to him, too.According to Virginia H. Loewen, it is important that w introduce our children to Jesus and that we, as adults, also approach him with childlike faith, acceptance, and trust.

I have given many "children's times" at my church, and am reluctant to turn to pre-written sermons/stories to guide me. Loewen's writing is the exception. She has the skill to view the world through young eyes, is simultaneously thoughtful, kind and wise (but with a refreshing sense of humor and fun), and manages to translate Biblical truths in a compelling, nondogmatic way. Also, she allows much flexibility for adapting her ideas to one's own style. I have used her mini sermons on several occasions with great results (especially the ones with a STOP sign, an eraser, and keys).I also find the book a good resource for simply stimulating my own thinking as I prepare to teach our children at church.
