Hi there families,

Here's the activities for the kids as we join together and talk about the next verse in the Lord's Prayer, 

"Forgive us our sins as we forgive those who sin against us."

  3. Cut the marked lines along the sheet. 
  4. Unfold the paper.
  5. Match the long edges together on the lantern and use tape to hold it in place.
  6. On the lantern handle, write "Jesus help me to be your light in dark places."

Place a tea light candle or small torch in the lantern and use it to pray around this week.

broken heart

Cut out the whole heart and cut out the broken heart into 3 pieces following the lines. Children can 'fix' the heart and put it back together using the whole heart as a guide as to where each piece goes. When we come to Jesus we are sinners, broken and lost. When we trust in Jesus and ask for his forgiveness and let him into our lives, he helps to complete us and works in us to make us whole again. We can help heal the brokenness of others too, when we forgive them for hurting us.

See you Sunday!
