When it is time to begin the lesson, tell children that someone special is missing (the stued animal).
Invite the children to help find and rescue the stue and bring it back to join the group. After the
stue has been rescued, ask the children to return to their seats.
Explain: One of the titles of Jesus Christ is “The Deliverer.” A deliverer is someone who rescues
people from danger. Jesus comes looking for us when we wander away or make mistakes. He rescues
us from spiritual danger. He doesn’t forget about us or give up.

pretend story.)
