Read: John 20:23: “If you forgive someone’s sins, they’re gone for good. If you don’t forgive sins, what are you going to do with them?” [MSG]
Reflect: Can you think of a time you forgave someone when they did something hurtful? How did it feel?
Pray: “Dear God, help us to forgive others, just as you forgive us. Amen.”
Bless: Trace a cross on each other’s shoulder, hand, or head and say “[Name], you are a beloved child of God.”

• Practice forgiveness using the Psalms and Palms activity, our Tiny Try-It-Out for February. Trace your hand, decorate it in response to the prompts, and pray!
• Get cozy and practice the power of confession and forgiveness around the fireplace, a winter
  bonfire, or even some candles!
• Read this article by the late Desmond Tutu, a person many would call an “expert” on forgiveness, and consider what his invitation to forgive means for you (and just as importantly, what forgiveness does not mean).
• Use a short video, scripture, and reflection questions to explore how God’s command to forgive others is actually a gift to us. NOTE: The video by Pastor Nadia Bolz-Weber contains strong language that may be unsuitable for children.
