Role Play Different Scenes that Lead to Forgiveness

There are some great lessons on forgiveness. On different Sundays, you might want to role play different scenes that lead to forgiveness.

Learning to forgive in light of all that is going on in the world is important. Let's help our pupils love more for every hate, forgive for every intended or unintended hurt or put down, and let the mind of the Christ be active in our lives.
