St Peters Ireleth

We made our first visit of the new term to St Peters today.  It was great to see all the children again as we always get such a warm welcome.  We started the assembly with an old favourite Great Big God then went on to tell a story.  The story we used was not a bible one but Paul did tell a similar story to the church at Corinth.  We used one of Aesop's Fables about parts of the body.  The parts of the body had decided that as the stomach didn't do anything they would no longer provide food for it.  Well as we all know our bodies have been designed so that all parts work together.  Well the body parts started to fail and couldn't do what they needed to do until the stomach pointed out the error of their ways.  Sarah then went on to say that we should all work together in school so that everything works well and she showed the verse from John 15 v12 about Loving one another as I (Jesus) loves us.  She explained that the love could be changed to help or care for, or be kind to, show respect and if we do that then as a school we will be like a giant jig-saw puzzle were all the pieces fit together perfectly.  Sarah then reminded them of the bible verse and then we sang Great Great Brill Brill before I ended with a prayer and Sarah led them in the Lord's Prayer.
