Pray for each of the students to enter into a relationship with Christ. He died for your sins so that you wouldn’t have to. He died for your sins because He loves you. God put all of our sins on Him, so he hurt for all of us. In Romans 6:23 it says, “For the wages of sin is death.” That’s what we deserve when we sin! When Jesus died on the cross, he died for your sins and mine. When we sin, it gets us into trouble, it hurts us, and it hurts others. He said, “Rejoice with me I have found my lost sheep!” But this story isn’t just about a sheep, right? It’s about us! 8. When one ran away, he searched everywhere to find him! And when he found him, he was so excited! He put it on his shoulders and went home to call all of his friends and neighbors. In Luke 15:4-7, there’s a story about a shepherd who has 100 sheep. In Isaiah 53:6 it says that, “We all like sheep have gone astray, each of us has turned to his own way and the LORD has laid on him the iniquity of us all.” Sometimes when we sin, we like to run away and hide, like Flighty today.ħ. Ask the students, “ Have you ever done something you should not have done? (Allow for responses.) When you disobey your parents and disobey God, that’s called sin. That grass tasted so awful that he had to spit it out!”Ħ. But when he tried the grass far away, he realized that he really left the good stuff here and he was embarrassed. ![]() Tell the children, “ Flighty thought that there was better grass to eat that way. You could have gotten really hurt.” Hold Flighty up to your ear, as if he is whispering to you. While you’re holding Flighty, ask him, “ Flighty, why did you leave the pen? It’s safe here with the Shepherd. Once a child spots Flighty, show genuine excitement! Give him a big hug, tell him you love him and you’re so glad he’s safe, and take him back to the classroom on your shoulders, leading the students all the while.ĥ. (If you have an assistant available, have them act as the caboose prompting children forward.)Ĥ. Encourage the children to look up high and down low, to the left and to the right. Chugga chugga choo-choo…Flighty! Chugga chugga choo choo Flighty! Lead the train around your space, finishing up near the hidden sheep. Invite the children to climb on board “the rescue train.” (Have them hold onto a rope or whatever you have available.) Say: All aboard. Say: I think this calls for a Rescue Mission! Can you be a part of my Rescue Crew today? I need everyone’s help to find Flighty. What do you think might happen to Flighty if he is alone somewhere? ( A wolf or dog might hurt him, he might eat plants that would hurt him, he might not be able to find his way home, he may be lonely, etc.)ģ. Flighty, you know it’s not good to run away from your Shepherd. But where is Flighty? Flighty….? Oh dear, I don’t see him. Isn’t she soft and fluffy? This is Funny. (Pick up sheep one by one.) This is Fleecey. I have some sheep here that I’d like to introduce you to. Say: Last week we learned that we are like sheep, loved by a Shepherd.
