Leven Valley School

This morning Sarah and I went to do the assembly at Leven Valley School.  We started by singing Shine as it had a link to what we were going to talk about.  We then told a modern day version of the Good Samaritan story and used 4 children dressed in costumes to help us. We had a man on a train who became very ill, an off duty nurse who walked on by to go for some breakfast, a police officer who didn't want his new shoes to get dirty and a rapper who rang ahead to arrange help for the man and gave him money to get home.  I explained to the children why Jesus told this story it was about loving our neighbours.  Sarah then talked about who are neighbours are and not just the people that live next door it is everyone and particularly those in need.  To finish we sang Help Me Be Your Eyes Lord Jesus as it fits perfectly with the theme.  To close we then said a prayer.
