READ THE BIBLE STORY TOGETHER: The Lost Sheep (Luke 15:1-7) Tell your children about a time you got lost. What happened? Who found you or helped you find your way again?

LOST AND FOUND

When the shepherd in the story lost his sheep, he looked for it until he found it because he loved it very much. Jesus is like the shepherd in the story. We are lost in sin, but Jesus came to save us from being lost. Play a game of hide and seek with your children. Explain that they will pretend to be the lost sheep by hiding somewhere in the house. You will pretend to be the shepherd by searching for them. When you find a sheep, hug your child and say, “you were lost, but now you’re found!” Remind your children that Jesus loves us very much and that is why He came to die on the cross for our sins. Jesus did this to save us from being lost in sin.

Main Point: God Made Me To Create!

Bible Story: The Building of the Tabernacle - Exodus 25 - 31

Bible Verse for this Series: “When God created human beings, he made them to be like himself.” Genesis 5:1b (NLT)

Family Activity

It is amazing all of the things God created! As a family, take a walk outside and point out all of the things you see that God created. Make sure to notice the different types of trees, flowers, and birds. God is the creator of the world and the designer of creativity. We are made in the image of God so we know we were made to be creative, too. God wants us to use what He has given us. While on your walk, have family members collect different items from nature and place them in a small bag. You might find leaves, blades of grass, rocks, or anything else God created! When you return home, put your heads together and create something unique using the items your family collected. Put your unique item up somewhere in your house to remind your whole family that God designed each of you to be creative!
