Skinboat
Children’s Sermon 10 May 2026 Good morning, guys. How are we doing? I’ve got a story for you today, about a monk named Brendan who lived over the ocean in Ireland. Does anybody know what a monk is? They dedicate their whole lives to prayer. That’s their job. Anyway, Brendan had heard a rumor about a beautiful paradise in the west, over the sea; so he set out with 14 monks to go and find it. They sailed out on the Atlantic Ocean in a skin boat, if you can believe it. Any guesses as to what a skin boat is? It’s made of wood and leather. And the ocean is full of things that eat wood and leather. They had fantastic adventures. They saw islands made of crystal pillars. They glimpsed the fire and brimstone of Hell. They sat and prayed while sitting in the midst of a feeding frenzy of sharks. And on Easter Sunday, out there on the waves, they were delighted to find a tiny little island on which they could celebrate Holy Communion. Only guess what—after they shared Communion, the island moved!...
