The Village Shepherd
The Wrong Gift?
Sermon
The man's mother had died
recently and he wanted to bring her back to her childhood for burial. The local
church was very accommodating. The vicar agreed to lead the service and the PCC
agreed that the lady could be buried in the churchyard, even though she hadn't
lived in the village for a number of years.
The funeral went well and the man was deeply grateful. A few months later, he turned up at the church again, this time bearing a two foot high crucifix. He wanted to give it to the church in memory of his mother.
