5. Receive The prophet Isaiah tells the people how to honour God ….
“Share your food with the hungry
and bring poor, homeless people into your own homes.
When you see someone who has no clothes, give him yours,
and don’t refuse to help your own relatives.”
From the book of Isaiah, chapter 58, verse 7

6. Engage What causes homelessness?
People become homeless for lots of different reasons. There are social causes of homelessness, such as a lack of affordable housing, poverty and unemployment; and life events which cause individuals to become homeless.
Many people become homeless because they can no longer afford the rent.
For many, life events like a relationship breaking down, losing a job, mental or physical health problems, or substance misuse can be the trigger. Being homeless can in turn make many of these problems even harder to resolve.
For more information about homelessness see -

7. Engage
Video suggestion … Andrew’s story – how the charity ‘Shelter’ helped
Some discussion ideas …
Where have you seen someone who is homeless?
How do you feel when you see a person who is homeless – be honest?
How can homelessness be eradicated from the UK?
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 … become a campaigner to stop homelessness in the UK.

8. Respond Amen God, may your love be with those who are homeless,
[Reflect for a minute on the worship theme and our engagement …]
God,
may your love be with those who are homeless,
may they receive comfort and support.
Help us to be aware of people in need
and to give what we can.
Amen
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 …

9. Go out into the world with the light of Christ
Let us bless the Lord
Thanks be to God
Go out into the world with the light of Christ
