Children's Liturgy Sunday November 8th 2009
Sunday November 8th 2009.
After hearing our Gospel story today, we have been thinking about
the work of Cafod and Christian Aid in the developing countries to
help people to build happier and healthier lives.
We asked each other how much pocket money we got. Most of us did not
think that we got a lot. But after a discussion, we realised just
how much we could buy if we saved it up for a month to help our favourite
charities.
We could buy:
50 fruit trees for £5;
Help someone to read for £10;
£10 could buy 80 people a nutritious meal;
£10 could also buy a vegetable garden;
Shelter and emergency kit for £15;
|
|
 |
|
| For £15 for a goat, we would also ,in
the long-term, be getting milk, fertilizer and off kids to sell off! |
|
 |
|
Finally, for clean water
we could buy buckets with lids for £5.
So no matter how little we can give to help, a small contribution can
make a huge difference to a family's life.
|
| |
Lord Jesus, you spot the
kindness of everyone and you see that even the smallest gift is of great
value.
Help us never to forget that, and to be generous in the little things
we can do and give.
Amen |
