🌟 Follow the Star – An Epiphany Children’s Sermon
Theme:Â Discovering Jesus Everywhere
In this interactive Epiphany message, children follow a star around the sanctuary to “find Jesus” in meaningful places — the pulpit, altar, baptismal font, and cross. Each stop reveals how Jesus is present in worship and in our everyday lives. The lesson helps kids understand that we don’t need a star to find Him — because Jesus is always with us.
