Revelation 21:1-6a
Object: 
The symbols Alpha (A) and Omega (ê) on two separate sheets of paper
Today is the beginning of a brand-new year. We even call this day "New Year's Day" and celebrate it. We like new things. I wonder how many of you got new things for Christmas? (Let them answer.) Old things come to an end and new things come. 1996 is now behind us. Now we live in 1997!

Everything that is new will someday become old. I remember one Christmas when I got a new... (Here tell a story of a gift that meant a great deal to you when it was new but the newness wore off and became old.) People are like our Christmas gifts.

Epiphany 2 | Ordinary Time 2 - A

John the Baptist gives us a great example of how to be a friend. Many times, when someone new comes along people get scared their friends will like the new person better. This happens to kids and adults. Bullying often stems from the fear that someone else will steal friends away. A bully sees the only line of defense as making fun of the new kid. They hope by ruining their reputation their friends won’t want to be friends with the new person, and the bully can keep all their friends to themselves.

Jackie thought Miss Potter looked something like a turtle. She was rather large, and slow and ponderous, and her neck was very wrinkled. But Jackie liked her, for she was kind and fair, and she never seemed to mind even when some of the children were quite unpleasant to her.

John the Baptist exclaimed as he saw Jesus: "Look, here is the Lamb of God!" Two disciples heard him and they followed Jesus. We have come this morning to worship Jesus, the Lamb of God; let us also be prepared to follow him as faithful disciples. Come, let us worship.
