Christianity Lesson 2

L.O. To understand the concept of ‘sacrifice’

Is it really a sacrifice?

Sam is upset. Auntie Sue is coming to stay. Sam likes Auntie Sue BUT she is having his room and his bed for the whole weekend. He doesn’t like giving up his bed, but, worse, mum says he can’t go swimming because they will all be going out together. It’s bad enough sacrificing his room and bed but giving up swimming too, seems really unfair.

Sam says it’s too big a sacrifice.
