Baptism is a sign of
a new life with God, where we say sorry for the things we have done, put our
old life behind us and start something new.
Take
some old, stained 2p and 1p coins.
Put
them in a plastic box with some vinegar and 2 teaspoons of salt. Put the lid on the box and shake for 30- 60
seconds.
Open
the box, pour the salt and vinegar mixture away and rinse the coins in
water.
They
should now look sparkly and new!
Just like the coins got a new, shiny start,
if we say sorry to Him, God can help us to make a new start.
Tell God about the
things you are sorry for doing and think about an area in your life where
you’d like to make a new start- it could be with a friend you have argued
with for example.
Ask God to help you
make a new start. Take a coin and keep
it next to your bed for the next week to remind you of the new start you are
making with God’s help.
