The Lost Cookie

We had a wonderful time of prayer in kid's Connection tonight after rejoicing over the many praise reports that were turned in - God truly answers prayer, even those offered up by children!













To reinforce the Bible lesson of The Shepherd who lost one of his 100 sheep, we chose a volunteer from the kids by asking a review question from last week. Daisy answered correctly and was told that she was going to receive 10 cookies as a reward! Sister Dawn decided that that wasn't enough - she should have 20 cookies! Daisy looks pleased, don't you think?













The kids watching were anxious to get some of those cookies for themselves!













Sister Dawn continued to add cookies to Daisy's reward until she had reached 100 cookies.













Corbin looks desperate for a cookie!













Once she had the 100, she was asked what she would do if she lost one of the cookies. Through the object lesson, we saw how important one person is to God. Of course, it helped to reinforce the lesson when each of the kids received their share of the cookies!

We also talked more about the importance of encouraging each other and our friends wherever we go. They were encouraged to do their best to say kind things this week and to do all that they are asked to do as if Jesus asked them to do it. It is our prayer that they will begin to apply these lifeskills to their lives as they grow up.
