Leven Valley School

This morning Sarah and I went over to Leven Valley School for the assembly.  We started with the song Creator God.  Sarah then asked the younger children if they knew who the first people on earth were, she then asked what their names meant pointing out that Sarah means 'princess'  No one knew although a few did give a good answer - it means 'first people ever'.  I then retold the Adam and Eve story afterwards pointing out that if Adam and Eve had not been tricked then wrong would not have come into the world and we might live in a world free from war, fighting, crime a world were no one goes without food.  This linked to God sending Jesus and as it is getting close to Easter I reminded the children that Easter is not all about chocolate and Easter bunnies but about God showing us his love in allowing Jesus to die on the cross.  Sarah said a little bit more about this as she introduced the second song I Love You, she then close with a prayer.
