Sermon Title: "Safe in His Hands"

Scripture Reading: John 10:27-29

Here are a few ideas to consider - choose the ones that are best for YOUR class!

ROPE HAND - Have the children trace their own hand and then glue a thin "rope" around the traced hand. Discuss the "tug of war" between Jesus and Satan.

HAND DRAWING: Have the children trace their hand and glue cotton balls inside the hand with little black hooves below the cotton balls to represent sheep. Print Bible verse John 10:29 all around the fingers of the traced hand!

FUN SHEEP (for younger children) - Draw circles for younger children to glue cotton balls and little black hooves. Teacher can have a shortened version of the Bible verse written under the sheep with a few letters missing for the child to fill in.

HAND TRACING - Have the children trace their hand and then color a little stick figure inside the hand. Write Bible verse on the fingers of the drawing - John 10:29

T-SHIRT HAND PRINTS - (If finances allow or if children can be asked to bring a T-shirt in to SS) - have a white T-shirt for each child to put their hand prints on with paint and fabric paints to write IN JESUS' HANDS, or some other phrase for today's lesson.

HAND TO REMEMBER - Trace hand and tape typed Bible verse on hand. Cut out the hand print and tie a red ribbon or yarn to the pointer finger. Discussion for red yarn to show us to REMEMBER something very important - recite the Bible verse again! Some children may enjoy having a red ribbon tied to his/her finger if they can say the Bible verse to REMEMBER!

HAND GAME - Place a picture of a child or some other meaningful object on the table. Have all children pile their hands on top of one another.... ie - one hand, someone else's hand, another hand, etc - then the HAND GAME of pulling the bottom hand out and putting it on the top, the next hand is pulled out and put on the top, etc --- its fun and funny too (giggles will be expected for sure). Discuss that the object at the bottom of the pile is being "protected" by a hand! HOPEFULLY this won't be too far fetched, but children WILL remember the lesson after the game and the discussion of being in God's hand!!
