Welcome
The SLT or any educator who is conducting the assembly will address the students positively saying Good morning to all. One can start this assembly stop for a moment of silence to be mindful of the present moment. Then make the sign of the cross: “In the name of the Father, and of the son and of the Holy Spirit. Amen”
Introduction
During this week of advent we are going to think about Love.
Watch
Reflective Thought
As some of the kids told us in this video when you love someone, you’ll be kind and you show it back to them. When we love others, we care for them, respect and help them. During this time, we think of presents to give to the ones we love. God loves us. His gift for us is his love. Depending on your audience you can add the following: He sent Jesus to show us how much he loves us.
Prayer
Dear God, we want to thank you for this day. During this Advent, we thank you for giving us people who love us. We thank You for loving us. (You gave us your son so that He will show us how to come in Heaven next to you and next to those we loved and passed away before us.) Help us to respect and love others just like you respect and love us. Amen.
Optional
You can end the assembly prayer time with this song. Kids can follow the movements.
