Saying Sorry to God

​

 ​Invite the children to sit in a circle for a moment of quiet.

​

God the Maker made this world.

God asks us to take care of the world

and to take care of each other.

But we don’t always take good care. Shake head

​

It’s time for us to say sorry to God.

Let’s sing our Sorry Song together.

Let’s put our hands on our head.
I wonder if there’s anything we’ve thought this week
that we wish we hadn’t thought?

Lead the group in placing your hands on head, singing:
With my hands on my head,
I remember the things I’ve thought today,
I remember the things I wish I’d thought a different way.

I’m sorry, I’m sorry, Sowing Seeds ‘I’m Sorry’ sign twice
I wish I could start again. Sowing Seeds ‘New Start’ sign
I’m sorry, I’m sorry, ‘I’m Sorry’ sign twice
I wish I could start again. ‘New Start’ sign

Let’s put our hands by our mouths.
I wonder if there’s anything we’ve said this week
that we wish we hadn’t said?

With hands by mouth, singing:
With my hands on my mouth,
I remember the things I’ve said today,
I remember the things I wish I’d said a different way.

I’m sorry, I’m sorry, ‘I’m Sorry’ sign twice
I wish I could start again. ‘New Start’ sign
I’m sorry, I’m sorry, ‘I’m Sorry’ sign twice
I wish I could start again. ‘New Start’ sign

Let’s cross our hands on our chest.
I wonder if there’s anything we’ve done this week
that we wish we hadn’t done?

With hands crossed on chest, singing:
With my hands on my chest,
I remember the things I’ve done today,
I remember the things I wish I’d done a different way.

I’m sorry, I’m sorry, ‘I’m Sorry’ sign twice
I wish I could start again. ‘New Start’ sign
I’m sorry, I’m sorry, ‘I’m Sorry’ sign twice
I wish I could start again. ‘New Start’ sign
