Defiance Children's Church at Home: 5/3 The Good Shepherd

We can trust our Good Shepherd

Jesus is Our Good Shepherd

  • Get ready: 

    • Sing: Jesus Loves Me

  • Pray: We praise you, Jesus, that you are alive, today and forever! Thank you for being our Good Shepherd. Help us to trust you.

    • Teach your children this simple responsive prayer of thanksgiving:

      • Alleluia! Christ is risen! 

      • Response: The Lord is risen indeed! Allelula!

  • Story: Read "Found” by Sally Lloyd Jones if you have it. If you don't have that book at home, you can watch the audiobook version here.

  • Read: John 10:1-10. Memory verse - Psalm 23:1 “The Lord is my shepherd. He gives me everything I need.”

  • Do: If you are in the mood for a sweet treat, make these cheerio sheep. Make a simple sheep pen like the one pictured below. Or, choose one of the crafts or games from the options on this page.
