Making the World

SMC preachers

Cultures and traditions - including religions - all have multiple creation stories.  Today we hear one from our scriptures told in Genesis, and our sermon shares another one - in the form of the children’s book “Big Momma Makes the World” by Phyllis Root.

Sermon begins at minute marker 8:32
Genesis 1:1-2:4a
