Bethel UMC
Children's Moments 1999-2003
by Phillip Brown
This page provides access to several "Children's Sermons" from Bethel's services in 1999-2003. Most used an "object" of some type to attract their attention and ended with words intended to impress a lesson in words meaningful to the children. I gathered these from "archived" recordings (in Real Media format) to provide some words for my grandchildren "in Grandpa's voice" that I would like to have said to them but probably never did.
