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

4. Receive
Do you not know that your body is a temple of the Holy Spirit within you, which you have from God, and that you are not your own? For you were bought with a price; therefore glorify God in your body.
From Paul’s First Letter to the Corinthians, chapter 6, verses 19 & 20

5. Engage
Blood transfusion saves lives and improves health, but many patients requiring transfusion do not have timely access to safe blood. Providing safe and adequate blood should be an integral part of every country’s national health care policy and infrastructure.

6. Engage Video suggestion … Blood Donor Day
Some discussion ideas …
Would you be prepared to give blood, why?
Who do you know that are blood donors?
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.
Do the Blood Donor quiz -
