| SESSION OUTLINE FOCUS: (5–8 minutes) Ask students: What are some of your favorite possessions that you have at home? Then ask: Have you ever lost anything that was important to you? How did you feel when you lost something valuable? How did you feel when you found something you thought you’d lost? As students share their responses, write them down on a chalkboard, newsprint or poster board. After you have a substantial list ask the students: Have you ever celebrated all of the things you didn’t lose? Why not? CONNECT: (5 minutes) Discuss: Why do we celebrate finding something, but not the things that we have never lost? Can you think of stories in the Bible that talk about losing something and then finding it again, or celebrating something that was never lost? EXPLORE THE BIBLE: (30–40 minutes) Divide into groups of 3-5 students and ask each group to do a drama based on the scripture passage. They can choose to: 1 Simply act it out as it is told in these verses 2 paraphrase it into modern words but with the same characters 3 put it into a modern-day context and change the characters but keep the same meaning.
