Memory Verse:
 For this my son was dead and is alive again; he was lost and is found. And they began to be merry. Luke 15:24

Memory Verse Activity:

The Repentance Game

Tape two cards on opposite walls of your classroom.

Write SIN on one and REPENTANCE on the other.

Tell your class that you are going to read several phrases.

Instruct them to face the sign that best describes the attitude of the phrase.

Read the following:

1) Give me that toy!

2) Take off that hat, it’s mine!

3) So what if your parents said no, it’s only for a minute!

4) I did the wrong thing, please forgive me.

5) How does God know what’s best for me?

6) May I please have another chance?

7) But I can’t do the dishes; I’ll miss my favorite show!

8) Can I please repay you?

9) I hope I never hurt your feelings again, I’m sorry.

Explain to your class that repentance is turning away from our sin.

Today we will hear a story about sin and repentance and how God responds to our repentance.
