Croflands Junior school

Today we took the assembly at the junior school. The year 6 class was out on a school trip to Manchester and another class was out swimming. We told the story of the lost coin and the lady that searched everywhere for it ... yes I was the lady in the story complete with pink wig. The children responded very well to the story and we were able to get across 2 points the first was about respecting the things we have and the second was about how God loves us so much He would do as the lady did and search and search for us. Sarah read the story from the Lion Children's Bible and it said the lady had 10 coins, some were shiny, some dull, some small, others big, some thin and some fat. I was able to get the point in that no matter what we look like God loves us. We sang Touch a Finger next before ending with Wonderful Lord, which the children joined in with - it was brilliant to hear and see all the children singing. It is such a blessing to see all the children in the school welcome us and wanting to talk to us both Sarah and I feel really privileged to be doing what we are doing.
