Decide to Forgive, Grades 9-12
Teenagers live in a world where friendships disintegrate over the smallest misunderstandings, where one cross conversation with a parent leads to weeks of non-communication, where racism continues to group people into categories of us and them. This mini-course is based on the premise that saying the words "I am sorry" is a do-able first step for repairing conflicts that inevitably arise. Teens learn that there is a world of possibilities in a world that is forgiving and that forgiveness is an attitude that can only be lived with hard work, courage and God's grace.
