" Let your adorning be forgiveness and mercy and that which cheereth the hearts of the well-favored of God."
Older Class:
Quote: We had pieces of paper with the words: forgiveness, mercy, that which cheereth the hearts, and well-favored of God on each piece of paper. These papers were hidden throughout the room. The children each found a piece of paper. The mailbox/quote helper for this class stood up. We said the quote and when the child's part of the quote was said, they taped or adorned the piece of paper on the child.
Story: The story from the Ruhi Book
Art Project: Each child had a forgiveness box which they painted. There were pieces of paper to go inside the forgiveness box. On the pieces of paper were: sing a song, say a prayer, take deep breaths, kick a ball, write a letter, dance, listen to music. Sometimes when we are upset with someone, it is very hard to talk about the issue and forgive right away. This box has alternative choices when we are upset before we may be ready to forgive.
Game: Both classes played the game People to People together( in the Ruhi book). The children walked around saying people to people and clapping their hands. When the game helper called something out everyone stopped and did what the game helper said like back to back, feet to feet, or elbow to elbow. The game helper called out one command at a time.
Younger Class:
Lesson: When our hearts are angry and sad they are dirty and don't reflect the attributes of God. When we forgive, our hearts are pure again
