Church in the Wildwood

Sermons and Prayers by a Lay Leader

This book is a collection of sermons, reminisces, and prayers, by a former Lay Leader of a small rural non-denominational Christian chapel or church. The author had no formal training. He was asked to fill in for the preacher who was afflicted with cancer of the larynx. The author joined another country church, this time of an organized Christian religion (United Methodist Denomination).He was greatly inspired by the minister, the religion, and the people, and decided to take the Lay Leader training offered by the Conference. Just about the time that he was certified as Lay Leader he was diagnosed with Parkinsons disease. Since this is a neurological disease, and it affects the speech, and enunciation he could not properly preach or deliver a sermon. Hence it gave rise to this book, the written word in place of the spoken word.
