Let the light of Christ shine in our lives

4. Receive
You must not curse a deaf person or put something in front of a blind person to make him fall. But you must respect your God.
From the book of Leviticus, chapter 19, verse 14

5. Engage
On the last day of term we raise money for two charities by wearing ‘own clothes’ and bringing in a £1. This is one of the charities …
In Bromley deafPLUS goes under the name Deaf Access.
The charity seeks to enable a better quality of life for people who are deaf, focusing on the person rather than the disability. They do this by; promoting independence, developing potential, promoting wellbeing, promoting social change and understanding.

6. Engage Video suggestion … Deaf Access in Bromley
Some discussion ideas …
Do you any words using sign language? If yes, share them in class.
What differences in everyday life do you think there would be if you couldn’t hear?
Discussion techniques - Go back to the Bible passage ask “How does the theme link with the Bible passage?”
Discuss the question in pairs for 30 seconds then invite a response from each pair.
Use quick-fire answers e.g. throw a soft bean bag / toy to a student, when they answer they throw it back and you quickly throw to another student.
Simplify the question - Invite quick one-word answers, write them on the board, then reflect on the answers – see connections.
Activity suggestion … Learn how to say “Hello” and “How are you?” using Makaton or British Sign Language.

Prayer / reflection technique – Give a summary of the theme and any responses that students may have made, then invite everyone to be still (remind no books open etc – lessen distraction). To pray or reflect on today’s worship. Be quiet for one minute. Then say the prayer …
