Our Lady's Samaritan's Purse Assembly

This morning we made our regular monthly visit to Our Lady's in Dalton however this month we did an assembly about shoe boxes.  Lisa. Abbie, Sarah and myself told the children all about Samaritan's Purse Operation Christmas Child.  Before the talk we sang God's Love is Bigger than a Burger.  Lisa open the talk by talking to the children about God's love for us and how we should share that love around to people like children in other less developed countries who perhaps might never have received a gift or present in their life.  She took a bottle of coke and started to share it between Abbie and myself to demonstrate the point of sharing, this was particularly apt as the ad campaign this summer for coke has been 'share a coke with...'  This left me with the task of telling the children what to put inside their shoe box and about the £3 donation to send with the box.  We then watched the video 'Love in a Box' at the end of the video I repeated the words of the chorus to the children before saying a short prayer.
