“Fill in the Blank(et)” – Rev. Tom Nalesnik

Service Description:

“Fill in the Blank(et)” – Rev. Tom Nalesnik

Cartoonist Charles Schulz’s beloved “Peanuts” characters have long been a topic in preachers’ sermons through the years, since they have a timeless relevance to congregation members, both young and old. Charlie Brown has his own band of loyal followers, as do Lucy, Pigpen, Franklin, Peppermint Patty, and especially Snoopy. In this sermon, Rev. Tom Nalesnik talks about Linus and his security blanket and how it can offer a message of hope and comfort to our modern, troubled world.
