Heads & Clergy conference

This morning Sarah and I travelled up to Newton Rigg, Penrith.  We had been asked to start of the  Heads & Clergy conference.  We had about 15 mins to do the collective worship bit at the start.  So I briefly explained to the gathering who we were and what we do then gave an example of an assembly we did last week.  Low Furness School had asked us last Tuesday to do an assembly on the Lord's Prayer, so as part of the conference was about prayer space's in school we decided to repeat this talk.  So Sarah and I read the Lord's Prayer, Sarah read the more traditional version while I read the street version as taken from the Word on the Street Bible.  Following this Sarah showed a crossword and read the cues as I demonstrated what happen last week as we did the assembly.  You can read about it on our blog from last Tuesday.  The sun had blocked out the video screen and we simply said Lord if you could just let the sun disappear while we do this that would be great - then it did!!!  This cause a sharp intake of breath this morning from the audience.  So Sarah continued and then I showed the answers and pointed out some of the key words like hears, power, simple, communicate etc then revealed that last week we sang a song and the sun came back out again and the children were taken back by it all.  Back to today, following the crossword we sang Wonderful Lord and during the instrumental I prayed for all those at the conference.  Following that I thank them for listening and we said our good byes.  We had a great time this morning and we hope that everyone else did too.
