May 31st Zacchaeus

 Zacchaeus was a rich tax collector. He took more money from other people then he should. Nobody liked Zacchaeus. One day, Jesus visited Zacchaeus’ town. Zacchaeus was so short, he couldn’t see over the crowds. Nobody would let Zacchaeus near the front. Zacchaeus had a good idea. He climbed up a tree. Now he could see Jesus easily. Zacchaeus had a big surprise. When Jesus arrived at the tree, He told Zacchaeus to come down. Jesus wanted to go to Zacchaeus’ house. Zacchaeus changed his life after meeting Jesus. Salvation came to Zacchaeus' house

 ) talk time -  what did we do this week 2)   Before EASTER we were learning about Jesus.  We learned that He came as a baby,  He had a family and He went to school and grew up just like we do.  We learned that Jesus came to show us what God is like.  As a grown up Jesus did lots of wonderful things.  He looked after people and was kind.  He made sick people better and even made dead people come alive again.   Today we are going to look at one of the things Jesus said.  He said some very interesting things which are important. Who knows what this is.  ( Show picture of shepherd)  Talk about the things a shepherd does.    1) He looks after the sheep and takes them to wherever there is good grass to eat and where there is water.  he finds them a safe place to sleep at night and keeps watch while they rest 2) He helps the mother sheep when they are giving birth 3) He looks after any sick sheep and hel...
