WHAT DOES SERMONETTE MEAN IN ENGLISH?

Sermonette

Sermonette is a generic term for short, locally-produced religious messages that were aired by many U.S. television stations during their sign-on and sign-off periods. While some of these segments carried the actual program title of "Sermonette," there were a variety of names used by individual stations, such as "Prayer for Today," "Give Us This Day," "Words of Inspiration" or the like. Sermonettes were generally about three to five minutes in length, and featured religious clergy from churches in the local station's coverage area. Reflecting the majority religious faith in the U.S., the clergy involved were almost always Christian, although in TV markets with a large Jewish population, a rabbi might occasionally be called upon. The segments were pre-taped for airing at their normally scheduled early morning or late night time slots. Some stations also presented a nationally-distributed filmed or videotaped inspirational message, either in addition to, or replacing, local messages. One of the best-known national sermonettes was A Seed from the Sower, presented by Michael Guido.
