Children's Activity
Today's Gospel Lesson has some very strong practical words
for us. When Jesus is with his disciples he asks Peter if he
loves him. Peter, without hesitation, says, "Yes, Lord!" Jesus
then tells him to feed his sheep. Three times he asks Peter this
question and three times he gives him the same response when
Peter says, "Yes."

others? Why wouldn't just loving God be enough? There are lots of
reasons, but one reason is that God needs our feet and hands to
for us. When Jesus is with his disciples he asks Peter if he
