This fun and original collective worship session aims to assist children in understanding the value of showing forgiveness, through: Understanding what forgiveness is, and recognising why it is important; Understanding what the bible teaches us about forgiveness, and learning about how Jesus demonstrated forgiveness; Looking at examples of times when they may need to forgive others or seek forgiveness, through stories and scenarios; Learning strategies to demonstrate forgiveness in their own lives. This worship session is tried and tested, and has always been really well received in the past. The slides are visually engaging and well-presented, and the subject matter is tailored to the interests and needs of young people. For example, there are references to scenarios and dilemmas that they themselves might find themselves in (for example how they might act during and after conflicts) in order to help them to make the right choices in their own lives. The session also includes an enduring real-life story of Nelson Mandela’s forgiveness of others, an engaging video depicting the bible story of how Jesus forgave Peter, and various discussion activities regarding how to show forgiveness in different areas of their own lives. No further resources are required, everything that you need to present the assembly is included. The slides are fairly self-explanatory, but I’ve included two pages of notes to assist the speaker. Hope that you find this useful!
