LCH Children's Conversations - August 25- Time after Pentecost/Lectionary 21

A children's conversation by Pastor Jeff Lilley -------------------------------------------------------- In today's Gospel, Jesus heals a woman who has been bent over for many years. We can begin to imagine how painful it was for her to live for all those years by walking around the church bent over. Jesus sees her suffering and heals her, so she praises God. But the religious leaders complain because Jesus healed her on the Sabbath. We know that the Sabbath is a day for us to meet God, and the woman meets God in her healing. God meets us all the time and brings us blessings.
