*You will need a rock, warm water in a cup and washable markers.
Read: Genesis 8:21-22- The Lord smelled the pleasing aroma of Noah's sacrifice and said in his heart: “Never again will I curse the ground because of humanity, even though every inclination of the human heart is evil from childhood. And never again will I destroy all living creatures, as I have done.
As long as the earth endures, seedtime and harvest, cold and heat, summer and winter, day and night will never cease.”
Say: God shows us grace even when we fail. In the times we do wrong- he is ready and waiting to forgive us. In the times we sin- he wants us to turn back to him.
Act:
1.We are going to write that recent "sin" that we committed down on these rocks. These rocks represents us- sin leaves us dirty.
2.Then we will close our eyes and say sorry to God.
3.Now lets tell him that we will try to do good next time.
4.Then we will wash the sin away in the water.
This is what the grace of God is like!

Q: What is a bad thing you did recently? (Share a sin too).
God calls us to repent of our sins. Repentance is more than saying sorry. It is turning away from that sin and turning back to God.
