Celebrating God’s Gifts for Everyone
Penny began to wonder, “Could I tell stories that help people think about big things? Could I teach God’s words to others?”
Penny loves Sundays. Her favorite part? The sermon! Captivated by the idea of speaking God’s words, Penny is inspired to preach herself. But when preaching from the front porch to her friends doesn't turn out quite as she expected, Penny wonders if she was wrong to want to teach others about God.
Penny receives a heartwarming reminder that God’s gifts are for everyone, and she learns valuable lessons about sharing God’s message—and what it means to use the gifts He has given her. This story invites children into a vision of a church where everyone’s gifts can shine.
