St James' Catholic School Millom OCC assembly

This morning Sarah and I went over to Millom to St James' Catholic Primary School to do an Operation Christmas Child Assembly.  We had been asked to do two assemblies one for Key Stage 1 and one for Key Stage 2.  We did the same assembly to both groups.  We started by singing God's Love is Bigger than a Burger then Sarah did her orange sharing talking and asked some children up to help share her orange with except she gave them the peel and not the orange.  She said that is wasn't very nice of her to do that and that we should share good things with each other like when we fill a shoe box of needy children, we should put good things into it.  She asked if the children liked to get presents at birthdays and Christmas and asked them to imagine what it would be like for a child to get a shoe box full of things.  I then did a short talk about the journey of a box finishing with the countries that the boxes go to and how many we sent last year.  I finished by saying on behalf of those that can't say it and on behalf of Samaritan's Purse - a very big THANK YOU.  Sarah then linked what I said to shining out God's love which led into Shine.  Sarah then closed in a prayer.
