More about these coloring pages

During last week's lesson, I pulled out the Psalm 23 coloring pages, and my students were immediately drawn to the images. One page features a shepherd gently leading his flock, which ties beautifully into the verse, 'The LORD is my shepherd, I lack nothing.' (Psalm 23:1). As they colored, I encouraged my students to think about how God helps us every day. We had crayons spread across my table, and I watched my 8-year-old, Sarah, carefully choose green for the grassy fields. The joy in her eyes when she finished was priceless. Each of the six pages presents a different aspect of this comforting scripture, making it a wonderful addition to any Sunday school class or church event.
