First Monday session,

1. Session 1
Families Forgive

2. One thing
that:
• I am good at...
• I like about myself...
• My parents like
about me...

3. Many people love me and
care for me!
• Who cooks my dinner?
• Who teaches me new things?
• Who likes to play with me?
• Who looks after me when I am
sick?
• Who gives me presents?

6. •What were the hurtful things that the Jones
family did or said?
•How did things change when they all came home?
•Why do you think they changed the way they
acted?
•Does your family ever have days like Messy
Monday?
•Can you remember when someone in your family
said or showed they were sorry? What happened?

7. Jacob and Esau

8. A family prayer of
forgiveness
Prayer time at our house is something we
try to make special: being, living, growing
and dreaming together.
Let us Pray together:

9. Helper: Dear God,
For the unkind things we said or did
All: We are sorry, forgive us.
Helper: For the times we did not want to
share
All: We are sorry, forgive us.

10. Helper: For the times we chose not to do
good to others
All: We are sorry, forgive us.
Helper: For the times we disobeyed
All: We are sorry, forgive us.

11. All: Jesus, teach us to be more
kind and loving to all in our
family. Help us to show we are
sorry and to be able to forgive
others when they hurt us.
Amen.
