For this Sunday: Adult: In what areas of your life do you need God’s mercy & forgiveness right now? What Advent practice would help you in expressing your repentance and seeking God’s mercy? Youth: What does it feel like to be really sorry for your misdeeds and sins? How could you go about seeking God’s compassionate mercy and forgiveness? For Tuesday: Adult: How has faith in Jesus as the compassion of God transformed your life? Youth: What are some of the teachings of Jesus about mercy, compassion and forgiveness that have helped you to grow closer to God and other people?
