Repentance helps me
return to Heavenly Father CSMP-booklet 2009, June week 3 |
Make white footprints to represent the path to
eternal life.
Ask the children to suggest things we need to do
to return to Heavenly Father (such as be
baptized and confirmed, pay tithing, and so on),
and write these things on the footsteps.
Place the footprints in a path and allow several
children to walk along the path. Add several
dark-colored footprints that are labeled with
things such as "drugs," "immodesty," and
"dishonesty." Place these footprints so that
they veer off the path to eternal life. Ask the
children what a person can do to return to the
path.
Read D&C 58:42 and explain that we can
repent and return when we are not on the correct
path. Help the children draw their own
footprints. Help them write, "Repentance help
me return to Heavenly Father" on the footprint.
Sing "Smiles" (CS 267), explaining that when we repent we exchange our frowning faces (sadness) for smiling faces (joy).
Testify of the reality of repentance
