Performance song – Let’s work together
(This presentation was an all age presentation set in a café style complete with coffee machines, small tables and delicious fresh coffee and hot chocolate)
Over the last few weeks we have been working our way through the book of Luke in the New Testament.
This week we’re moving on to Chapters 9 and 10. Over the whole evening we will be exploring parts of those chapters but not all of them. Don’t worry we’re not going to read all the way through, I’ve just picked out a part that intrigued me. If you want to work your way through both chapters then join one of small groups this week which will allow you to go through the two chapters in much more detail.

Story – Good Sam story – a re-telling of the story of the Good Samaitan.
Jesus said, “Go and do the same.” 36″What do you think? Which of the three became a neighbour to the man attacked by robbers?”
37″The one who treated him kindly,” the religion scholar responded.
Luke 10: 35-37 (The Message)
There were a number of activities for people to choose from and take part in around the room
Prayer – Light a candle and pray for your neighbours, at work, in your street or at school.
Drama – 10 minutes to practice and then perform the drama Love is,….
Love in action – Come up with ideas about how how might you put love into action this week? The wackier the better!
Art work – with plenty of felt tip pens, glue, crepe paper, pastels let your imagination run riot to tell the story of how we can love our neighbour,…..
Here’s what folks came up with when it came to loving their neighbour;
Out their bin back by the back gate
Give them some cooking apples
Put different Fair-trade goodies through their door for a week
Smile and greet
Bake someone a cake
Make time to have a conversation and listen
Drink coffee together
Invite the round for a meal
Give them a hi -5 and respect
Play football with them
Go down the pub for a chat
Say Hi every morning
Teach them a new trick on your bike
Baby sit
Feed the dog
Pray for them
Sweep up their leaves
Take their rubbish out
