Church Walk Primary School

This morning Sarah and I went along to Church Walk Primary school to take a Samaritan's Purse assembly.  After the children had settled down we sang God's Love is Bigger than a Burger which led Sarah into the talk about love and about getting ready for Christmas.  She asked if the children knew how many days it was until Christmas and if they had started their Christmas lists or not.  A lot of the children put their hands up during the assembly.  Sarah told the children that their are children in the world today that have never ever had a present of any kind - she asked how they might feel - sad, upset, unhappy came the children's replies.  Sarah handed over to me to talk about what they could do.  I explained about Operation Christmas Child and how simple it is to collect a few items and put them in a box for a child in need.  We then watched the Love in a Box video.  At the end of the video I told the children that 1 million boxes were collected last year and that they could be a part of that 1 million this year.  We then said a short prayer.
