Portsmouth families frequently live with a parent away — at sea, on deployment, or working elsewhere for weeks. The empty chair is part of the weeknight.

Read the same passage the absent parent has on their phone, and tell the children so. Praying the same words on the same night is the shortest distance between two places.

The Lost Sheep — a 5-minute devotion for Portsmouth families

Luke 15:1-7 · God goes looking for the one

A shepherd had a hundred sheep and one wandered off. He left the ninety-nine on the hills and searched until he found it, then carried it home on his shoulders and called his neighbours to celebrate.

This works best in Portsmouth as a bedtime reading. Lights low, Luke 15:1-7 read slowly, the memory verse said twice, then the prayer. Younger children fall asleep on "god goes looking for the one"; older ones usually want to argue about it first, which is fine.

Memory verse

“Rejoice with me; I have found my lost sheep.”

Luke 15:6

Table question

When have you felt lost — and who came looking for you?

30-second prayer

Good Shepherd, thank you that you do not give up on anyone. Help us go looking for someone who feels forgotten. Amen.

Make it stick: pick one person in Portsmouth — a neighbour, a grandparent, a classmate — and do the thing the story asks for before Sunday. God goes looking for the one only counts once it costs something.

Tomorrow: the lost coin and the father who runs (Luke 15:8-24). ArkQuest queues the next reading automatically, so nobody has to decide what comes after tonight.
