Story Share

In 2008 I began working on a monthly story for Story Share a part of CSS’ online resource for clergy called Sermon Suite.. It is an interesting exercise to undertake as each month I am assigned a lesson from the Revised Common Lectionary and am asked to write a story of no less that 750 words that illustrates the passage or highlights a truth from it.

Sometimes the story comes easily and at other times I am wracking my brains trying to figure out what else there might be to say about the text. Surprisingly though what I am finished with after that time and effort are usually the stories that I enjoy submitting and using as Children’s times or at Nursing Homes.
