Church School Lesson: Lost and Found

Isaiah 53:6
We all, like sheep, have gone astray, each of us has turn to his own way.

Objective:
To use the parable of the three lost things to teach that people outside of Christ are lost in sin and in great danger - they need to be found by the Saviour.

Lesson:
The Lost Sheep - (some don't mean to be lost)
The shepherd had 100 sheep, one missing. He knew it was in danger and searched until he found it.  He gathered his neighbour for a party.
The Lost Silver - (some don't know they are lost)
A woman lost one of ten coins. She lit a candle and swept the floor. When she found the coin, she told her friends.
The Lost Son - (some only have themselves to blame, they chose to be lost)
A young man was fed up with life on a farm. He asked for money and left home. He wasted the money and his friends left him. He looked after pigs. He felt sorry and decided to go home. His father welcomed him and forgave him.
Everyone is lost in sin until they trust in Christ.

Craft:
1. Prepare the head and legs on sugar paper (or any black colour paper) then a body. I got this template from All Kids Network.com.
2. Cover the sheep’s body piece with glue.
3. Stick the 4 legs onto the bottom of the body.
4. Cover the rest of the sheep with cotton balls.
5. Glue the sheep’s head onto the body (on top of the cotton balls).
6. Glue the googly eyes on the head. Glue the red foam on the sheep’s face to make a smiling mouth.
