  • SAY: “In our Bible story today, Jesus told a story about a shepherd and his sheep. He was counting his sheep and noticed one was missing. Let’s make a picture of that lost sheep. On your paper are the legs and the face of the sheep. We’ll use the cotton balls to fill in the sheep’s body. Use the glue place the cotton balls where the wool would typically be. There’s your cute little sheep. Jesus said that the shepherd loved all of his sheep; each one mattered to him. So he went out to find the one missing sheep. Jesus told us this story to teach us something very important: we are important to God. He tells us that if we were lost, God would find us then celebrate. You are important to God. I’m glad we have Jesus to teach us important things. Who teaches me important things? [Bottom Line] Jesus teaches me important things.”
