Crosthwaite School

This afternoon Sarah and I travelled over to Crosthwaite School it was beautiful looking up Windermere today as we saw the wonder of God's creation.  We told the children this as we started the assembly then as we sang Creator God it reminded us all about the different parts of creation.  Following the song Sarah asked who the first people were and what their names meant - Adam and Eve the children said then someone had a go at the meaning of their names 'first people ever'  This was just a filling in link to the story which was about Adam and Eve.  I told the story of Eve being tricked by the snake in the garden so she ate the fruit of the tree of good and bad.  This then led to them being asked to leave the garden and needing to work hard to make the ground bring forth fruit and veg to eat.  I asked the children to think about what the world would be like today if they had not been disobedient towards God we would live in and even more beautiful world with no fighting and falling out, no wars, no theft, no one going hungry, no stealing, no crime and so on.  I then reminded the children that God gave us a second chance in that he sent Jesus to die on the cross and as we move towards Eastertime we should remember what it is all about and not about Easter bunnies and chocolate.  God sent Jesus because he loved us so much and to end the assembly we sang I Love You which is a song we play as the children arrive into assembly.  Sarah then said a prayer to close.
