Church Walk Primary School

Yesterday Sarah and I went to Church Walk School for the assembly.  It was great to see the children again and we told them that it makes us feel happy whenever we see them.  This led to singing Be Happy.  After this we played a bit of a game with the children as I acted out the name of one of the Mr Men they had to guess who I was.  This was just a lead into talking about how we can sometimes be happy, sad, shy etc.  I then told the story of Jesus going to a party hosted by a rich man, Jesus aske the man if next time would he consider inviting all the poor people from around the town - the man said no way as then he won't get invited back to their parties as they couldn't afford to throw a party.  Jesus reminded him that if he did that he would be pleasing them but also pleasing God as he would show such kindness to those that could even have a party.  Sarah encouraged the children to think of ways that they could change someone who was sad into a happy person - it could be a simple as a smile.  She reminded them that we all have it within us to make people happy so we should Shine from the Inside Out.  Cue for a song.  After the song we did a plug for the holiday club at Croftlands Community Church which is Polar Explorers.  Sarah close the assembly with a prayer.
