Young Children:

1. Explain to your child why work is important - both secular and for the Lord.

2. Tell your child the story about the blind man who was made to see because Jesus healed him. John 9:1-12

3. Talk to your child about sheep and shepherds. Read a book from the public library on sheep and shepherding. Compare this to Jesus who is our spiritual shepherd.
