The Lord's my shepherd

Last Sunday we looked at Psalm 23. The Psalm starts 'The Lord is my shepherd'. What does it mean to have a shepherd watching over us, protecting us, guiding and leading us?
This weeks midweek craft has been prepared by Sara. Sara and her family are encouraging us to make sheep as we think about Jesus as our shepherd. We used cotton wool & circular spongy brushes to paint the sheep but you could just use fingers (Jennifer's preferred approach) or paint brushes or the slightly less messy option of sticking on cotton wool instead of painting. I've attached a couple of examples made by my willing assistant, William.
