Celebrating life
Children's sermon
Object:
a black armband and a rainbow colored armband
Good morning, boys and girls. (Point to your black armband.) Have you
ever seen one of these? (Let them respond.) This is a black armband. We
don't see them much anymore. But many years ago, people used to wear
them when someone of their group, maybe someone that they worked with,
died. It was a sign to show how sorry the person wearing it was that the
other person died. Many people used to wear black clothes for a whole year
after someone died. This was called being in mourning. It was a time of
sadness and remembering the person who died.
