From A Mustard Seed... 52 messages for children... one for each Sunday of the coming year. One of the biggest challenges of parish ministry is to capture and motivate the imagination of our children so that they relate to the gospel in more direct ways. From A Mustard Seed is filled with creative approaches. It builds on the everyday experiences of children, using the most common of household items, to give them a point of identification with the living God. The interactive approach of these messages will not only have the children of your congregation relating to God more directly, it will have your adult members thanking you for speaking so clearly and powerfully to their faith as well. Pastor Mark A. Hultquist earned a B.A. degree from Clark University in Worcester, Massachusetts, a Master of Divinity degree from Northwestern Seminary in St. Paul, Minnesota, and is currently serving as pastor of Our Redeemer Lutheran Church, Eugene, Oregon. He and his wife, Anna, are the parents of three teenage children.
