The Lost Sheep Thank You Note

Directions: Read Luke 15:1-7. The parable of the lost sheep tells us how much God
loves people who make mistakes. He leaves those who are good to go out to save those
who have been bad. Inside the sheep’s wool, write some of the mistakes people your age
can make. Then write a thank you note to Christ, the Good Shepherd, for coming to save
them anyway.

Directions: Write a thank you note to God for coming to save those who are lost.
