Preschool: The Lost Sheep

February 8, 2009

February 8, 2009

This month, we’ll be learning some of the parables that Jesus used to teach people about God.

Why did Jesus tell these stories? Jesus wants me to know what God is like.

This week during GreenHouse, the parable we learned about was called The Lost Sheep. We know that God loves us and cares for us just like a shepherd will care for his sheep. And we learned the shepherd cares for each sheep so much, that if one of them gets lost he will look and look until he finds it. To help us remember our story, we played lots of fun games, had a yummy snack mix (with marshmallows for sheep) and made fuzzy lamb pictures.

Our memory verse this month is “The Son (hold hand low like a little boy) wants to tell others (take both hands and make them move like they are talking) about the Father. (hold hand high like a tall man)” Luke 10:22 (hold hands out front like a Bible)

Parents, This week play a fun game of hide-n-seek with your child’s favorite stuffed animal. Take turns hiding it and finding it. When the game is over, tell your child that you love them so much that if they ever got lost, you would look and look and look until you found them. Remind them that God loves them so much just like you do!
