3. Let the light of Christ shine in our lives
Gather
The Lord be with you
And also with you
Let the light of Christ shine in our lives

4. Receive
Jesus said, ‘Let the little children come to me, and do not stop them; for it is to such as these that the kingdom of heaven belongs.
From the Gospel according to Matthew, chapter 19, verse 14

5. Engage
Many children suffer and, critically, do not access education because they live on the street and/or lack a supportive family environment.
Street Child’s teams exist to change this for as many children as possible. They find and befriend street children, becoming the safe adult that is missing in most street children's life. Their social workers then aim to unite a child with a family - usually their own - through a process of counselling and mediation.
Also through teacher training and the establishment of educational facilities in areas where they are needed most, Street Child works towards ensuring that out of school children have the chance to gain an education.

6. Engage Video suggestion … Reality of life as a Street Child
Some discussion ideas …
Why do children need stable, adult support in their lives?
What difficulties do you think young children might face when they live on their own?
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 … Find out some stories about street children and how they have been helped. Maybe make an information poster for your classroom.

7. Respond Amen Lord Jesus Christ. May your love be shared
[Reflect for a minute on the worship theme and our engagement …]
Lord Jesus Christ.
May your love be shared
with all children who end up on their own.
Bring them the help and support they need.
Thank you for the work of Street Child
and other charities
for their love and care.
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 …
