Main Point: We Can Know Forgiveness Through Jesus
Bible Story: Jesus is Baptized (Mark 1:4-11)

Do the activity together to have some fun and reinforce the big idea!
Talk It Through Together
Question of the day! (all ages!)
Go around the room and ask the question: “Would you rather have one eye in the middle of your forehead or two noses?”
Questions for 1st-3rd Graders
What happened when Jesus was baptized? (The sky opened, a dove came down, and God spoke!)
What did God say about Jesus? (That Jesus was His son and He loved Him.)
Can you tell about a time when you needed forgiveness?
What happens when we ask God for forgiveness? (He forgives us--every time!)
Questions for 4th-5th Graders
Why was John baptizing people? (To cleanse them after they confessed their sin and asked for forgiveness.)
What happened when Jesus came to John to be baptized? (The sky opened, a dove came down, and God spoke!)
What did God say about Jesus? (That Jesus was His son and He loved Him.)
Read Mark 1:8
“‘I baptize you with water, but he will baptize you with the Holy Spirit.’”
John says that he baptizes with water, but how will Jesus baptize people?
What’s different about the way Jesus will baptize people? (the Holy Spirit changes the heart!)
3. DO IT // ACTIVITY
ACTIVITY 1 - Disappearing Paper (Church Kit required)
Use the strip of paper in this week’s Church Kit materials to write down something in your life that you need God’s forgiveness for!
THEN, take the strip of paper, drop it in a cup of water, and watch it dissolve!
When we ask God to forgive our sins, he forgives and then COMPLETELY takes away our sin! God loves us no matter what!
ACTIVITY 2 - Origami Twitter Bird
Cut out the fun “filters” and use your creativity to take fun pictures!
We use filters a lot when we’re taking pictures! Sometimes it’s fun and silly, but sometimes we use them to cover up the things we don’t want people to see. With God, we never have to cover anything up! He knows everything about us--good and bad--and he loves us and forgives us always!
YOU DID IT!
Continue the conversation all week by talking about showing mercy and trusting God!
