TALKING TO GOD/TAKING IT HOME
1. During this week, in your prayers, try using “Forgiving” as your title for God. Make a special effort to emphasize “forgive us our trespasses” when you pray the Lord’s Prayer this week.
2. Write a one sentence summary in your prayer journal. In this sentence, describe your answer to the question “What did you learn about in Confirmation class this week?” in as much detail as possible.
3. Conclude your time together with the Lord’s Prayer.
