Captain Shaw's CE School OCC assembly

This morning Sarah and I went over to Bootle (Cumbria) to the lovely little school - Captain Shaw's CE.  We went to do an Operation Christmas Child assembly and the whole school was in all 19 of them.  They joined in as we sang God's Love is Bigger than a Burger and listened as Sarah started to eat here breakfast and orange.  Sarah did ask if anyone wanted to come and share it with her and one little girl did so Sarah peeled it and gave her the peel!  The little girl was a bit shocked and went to sit down but Sarah explained as she did then share it with her that it is good to share good things and it isn't good to share bad things.  She continued that when we put things into a shoe box for OCC we are sharing good things with children that don't have very much if anything at all.  She talked about presents that we get for Christmas and birthdays and how it is nice to get lovely things.  I then talked about how when we fill a box we fill it with love and I lifted out the word love from a box.  I then went on to show how to fill a box and then to show what happens to it once it is filled and where the boxes get sent to.  Sarah then encouraged the children to take part this year and fill boxes again for OCC.  We then sang Shine before Sarah closed with a prayer.
