Preparation
Using a typical metal coat
hanger as a guide,
carefully form one from
the solder. The solder will
be soft so you must be
gentle to avoid distorting
the shape prematurely.
Add it to your stach of
clothes hangers. You may
wish to use a variety of
clothes hangers just to
hide the fact that one is
different.

• As the group provides
ways we cover sin you
label each bundle. You’ll
want ideas like: Go to
church, Be good, Not hurt
people, Prayer, Lie,
Pretend it didn’t happen,
do something good to
make up for it, blame it on
someone, give an excuse
for it, etc. After you write
on the clothes hanger,
return it to the participant.

• Take out your “special”
coat hanger made from
solder, wrap it in red paper
like you wrapped the
others.
• Explain that the red paper
represents Jesus’ atoning
blood (older children).
Note: The concept of blood
sacrifice is difficult for
young children to grasp but
“Jesus’ forgiveness” is a
suitable alternative.

• explain that even though
the coat hangers are
covered you can still *see*
them, they are not gone.
• Have everyone feel their
bundle and the coat
hangers (sins) are still
there.
• Squeeze your bundle up
into a little ball….Jesus can
make it go away (remove /
forgive your sin.)
