Our Lady's School

This morning Sarah and I did the assembly at Our Lady's School.  We decided to do one about miracles so to start us off we sang a good old favourite Great Big God.  Then I used a Bob Hartman book to retell the story of Jesus walking on the water and calming the storm.  The story repeats each line 3 times and at the end of some of the lines there is a response required from the children.  Following the story Sarah explained that Jesus in fact had done 2 miracles in it the first walking on the water the second calming the storm.  She continued by saying that in life many people call the ups and downs the storms of life, however when we have Jesus close to us he helps us through the rough times.  I then linked this miracle with Jesus coming back alive on Easter Sunday, explaining to the children that that is why we celebrate Easter.  This linked into our second song Inright Outright.  Following this Sarah closed in prayer.
