Leah, this is lovely. I have been sitting here for the past several days trying to decide exactly what to say to our children about Christ the King Sunday. I didn't just want to focus on the usual scepter and crown. I wanted to give them something more that would help them show Christ the King in their lives. It's hard to do, when you only get five minutes. Thanks for helping me get a little bit more focus and realize, it's okay to think a bit differently.
So glad this was helpful to you! There are other suggestions for children's sermons on this blog (just do a search for "children"). You can also find ideas for helping children connect with God's Creation in my new book, Creation-Crisis Preaching: Ecology, Theology and the Pulpit. http://www.chalicepress.com/Creation-Crisis-Preaching-P1550.aspx
