Luke 23:1-5, 13-23, 32-34 

1 Then the whole assembly rose and led him off to Pilate. 2 And they began to accuse him, saying, “We have found this man subverting our nation. He opposes payment of taxes to Caesar and claims to be Messiah, a king.”  3 So Pilate asked Jesus, “Are you the king of the Jews?”  “You have said so,” Jesus replied.  4 Then Pilate announced to the chief priests and the crowd, “I find no basis for a charge against this man.”  5 But they insisted, “He stirs up the people all over Judea by his teaching. He started in Galilee and has come all the way here.” 

13 Pilate called together the chief priests, the rulers and the people,14 and said to them, “You brought me this man as one who was inciting the people to rebellion. I have examined him in your presence and have found no basis for your charges against him. 15 Neither has Herod, for he sent him back to us; as you can see, he has done nothing to deserve death. 16 Therefore, I will punish him and then release him.”  18 But the whole crowd shouted, “Away with this man! Release Barabbas to us!” 19 (Barabbas had been thrown into prison for an insurrection in the city, and for murder.)  20 Wanting to release Jesus, Pilate appealed to them again. 21 But they kept shouting, “Crucify him! Crucify him!”  22 For the third time he spoke to them: “Why? What crime has this man committed? I have found in him no grounds for the death penalty. Therefore I will have him punished and then release him.”  23 But with loud shouts they insistently demanded that he be crucified, and their shouts prevailed. 24 So Pilate decided to grant their demand.25 He released the man who had been thrown into prison for insurrection and murder, the one they asked for, and surrendered Jesus to their will. 

32 Two other men, both criminals, were also led out with him to be executed. 33 When they came to the place called the Skull, they crucified him there, along with the criminals—one on his right, the other on his left. 34 Jesus said, “Father, forgive them, for they do not know what they are doing.” And they divided up his clothes by casting lots.

While Jesus was being executed, he prayed for the very people who executed him. 

On the dissolvable paper in your activity bag, write down the name of something/someone you need to forgive or something/someone you need to ask forgiveness for/from. As you drop the paper into the bucket, pray for what you wrote down and ask God to help you forgive as you watch the paper dissolve.
