Emerald Crossing: Who is the Good Shepherd?

Four mornings loaded with singing, Bible stories, crafts, snacks and games for children. We also collect food donations for the local Food Bank.

Four crossings

What we will learn each day

Day 1
Lost to Found
We are all like sheep who have gone astray, and we need Jesus to rescue us. Jesus is the Good Shepherd.
Day 2
Wrong Path to Right Path
God leads us like a shepherd leads sheep, and guides us through his Word, the Bible. The Good Shepherd loves and cares for us very much.
Day 3
Fearful to Peaceful
God is our comforter. Like David, I can turn to the Lord for comfort when I’m feeling anxious or afraid.
Day 4
Grumbling to Grateful
We can show gratitude to God in all circumstances, and reflect his kindness to others.

Each morning

Opening Assembly: We start and end each day singing and praising God. The children meet the day’s theme here before splitting into grades.
Snack: A tasty snack that reinforces what we have learned.
Craft: A craft that connects with the theme and story of the day.
Bible: The children study the day’s Scripture and theme, and learn each day how God’s Word is truth.
Games: Outside for fresh air, games and burning off energy.
Closing Assembly: Everyone joins together to review what we learned, connect it to our lives, and sing praise to God in response.
