Greetings Saints of God and Happy New Year!

The end of this year, 2015, marks the beginning of the 4th year of the Dollar Store Children Sermon blog.  That means the DSCS has been running now for 3 full years.  Amazing.  And it is all because of you, and your continued use of the blog.

Thank you!  Thank you! Thank you!

I appreciate your prayers, visits, use and donations throughout the last four years.

If you have ever considered making a donation, today would be a great day to do it!  Never a necessity, always appreciated.

Thank you for your continued prayers, and conversation here, and on Facebook.

Greetings Saints!

While this is not a children sermons post, I wanted to share with you some of my excitement.  This is a book of prayers, in Haiku form, that speak to my soul.  I hope they might speak to you as well.

I have been writing a daily Haiku for almost a year now, and started labeling them in Lent.  I collected these and published them in book format.  The sections being Lent, Easter and Haiku Prayers.

To read more about it, you can go to this link:

I also have this available in PDF format, if interested.  You can contact me directly for the information on the PDF.

Thank you,
John
