Bible Story
Show a picture of sheep in the pasture with a shepherd.
What do you see in my picture? Allow the children to respond
Can you see a lot of green plants with lots of good stuff for the sheep to
eat?
Can you also see very big and green trees? This must be a great place to go when it is really hot. They can protect the sheep from the hot sun.
Can you see a nice big river where the sheep can drink from?
Questions
Prayer
Father, we thank you for providing for all our needs and watching over us and protecting us just like a good shepherd watches over his sheep. Amen.
