St Peters

It was great to go back to St Peters this morning.  Sarah and I do so enjoy doing assemblies at the school.  To start this morning we sang Be Happy.  For the assembly we decided to do  one on new beginnings and took along Scruf the Dog who told us - well me actually that he was a bit scared and felt a little bit alone.  So when I asked him why he explained that he had just started at a new Poodle Parlour and he was scared because there were some bigger dogs there and he felt alone as he had left some friends at his old one.  After asking the children what they thought would help him he said good bye and went back into his bag.  Sarah then highlighted some parts of what the children had said and applied them to the school and new children in the school.  This then linked with a bible passage from Matthew when Jesus was talking about being thirsty, alone, sick, in prison etc and Jesus being asked when was it and his reply was it is whenever you do for others these things you do them for me.  Instead of reading the passage out I displayed it and did a summery of it.  This then linked to the song Shine as when we do these things we can shine from the inside out.  Sarah then closed with a prayer followed by the Lord's Prayer.
