====Set-up====
*As students enter place them onto two different "Archeology Teams" give a minute or so for each team to come up with a name.
*Sand container with "artifacts"

====Activity====
*Tell students something like the following. We often think of archeology as finding documents or swords, or buildings. But a lot of archeology is finding old garbage. In fact, some of the most useful archeological sites have been town garbage pits.
*Teams race to the sand container and find an artifact then race back.
*The team which finds an artifact for every player first wins.

==Archeological Excursion (3 minutes)==

==Apply It (4 minutes)==
*In John 9:39 Jesus said "Jesus said, “For judgment I have come into this world, so that the blind will see and those who see will become blind.” NIV
*Jesus came so that we could have a relationship with God. Each of us is sinners and sin ruins our relationship withGod. But Jesus came to offer forgiveness. 
*What is sin ...
*Take a piece of flash paper and write a sin on it.
*When we accept Jesus' free offer of forgiveness through his death on the cross he wipes our sin away. The Bible tells us that as far as the east is from the west so far has he removed our sin from us.
*Ignite flash paper, just like that our sin is gone!
