they will stick to a flannel board. Use these flannelgraph pieces to tell the story of the lost little sheep as told in John 10:1–16 and
Luke 15:4–7, or read the story included with this activity.

7. Jesus is a good shepherd. He
knows each of His little sheep by
name. And His sheep know Him
too.
Jesus stands at the gate of the
sheep pen. Jesus will take care of
any little sheep that asks to come
into the gate of the sheep pen.
Those sheep will be saved. The
shepherd will make sure that His
sheep have everything they need.
Jesus once told a story about
a man who owned one hundred
sheep. Every evening he would
count to make sure that all the
sheep had come back from the
pasture.
One evening he was counting
his sheep. “Oh no, one sheep is
missing!” the shepherd cried.
The shepherd quickly closed
the gate of the sheep pen and
hurried to find his lost sheep. He
went out in the dark to search
for his lost sheep. He looked
everywhere—in the forest …
on top of the hills …. and even
between the rocks. Until at last,
he found his little lost sheep!
The shepherd was overjoyed.
He put the sheep on his shoulder
and carried it all the way to the
sheep pen. At last the little sheep
was safe in the pen again, home
with its other sheep friends!
Jesus told His disciples, “I tell
you this story, so that you will
know that I care for you.”
Jesus is like the shepherd. He
doesn’t want one little sheep to
be lost. He will always take care
of you, because He loves you very
much.
