Here is a Palm Sunday sermon from 1994. I have both the scanned printout that is highlighted in yellow, as well as the original wordperfect file from a floppy disk. The scan will appear first, followed by the text from the floppy disk.

Here is a handwritten sermon from March 23, 1980. It was the sermon from right before I was born.

This is a handwritten Lenten sermon from 1977. There’s an interesting baseball story near the end of the sermon, which is fun.

Here is at typed sermon from 1974 with highlights in red marker. There isn’t a Gospel lesson listed, but it looks to refer to the parable of the wicked tenants, which appears in several Gospel readings.

This is a typed Lenten sermon from 1988 with highlights in either dark orange or red. It introduces the term “Soul Insurance”, which I’m not sure that I was aware of.

Here is a typed sermon from April of 1982. The original church season is listed as “9th,10th Comm.” which may have been first communion for 9th and 10th graders. On reading the sermon, it’s more likely a reference to the 9th and 10th Commandments, though.

Here is a handwritten Lenten sermon from 1976. It is written in pencil and blue pen with highlights in red pencil.

Here is a typed sermon from Lent of 1993 It includes a callout for confirmation students on one of the main points of the sermon. I think I may have been one of the confirmation students at the time.

Here is a typed Lenten sermon from February of 1988. It is marked up in red pen. He references a surgery that he experienced in September of 1987, which was likely the removal of cancer tissue from his upper back.
