Croftlands Junior School

This morning Sarah and I went along to Croftlands Junior School for the assembly.  After singing Be Happy we talked about different emotions and our way into that was using the Mr Men finishing with - Mr Happy.  We displayed other pictures too like sad, excited, shy etc.  What we wanted to get over was we can help to change someone's emotions from say sad to happy.  I told the story of Jesus at a party and how the host only invite those people who he knew would invite him back for a party.  Jesus told him that next time he should invite all the poor people and those that don't or can't hold parties.  That way he will please them and God because of the kindness he has shown.  We continued with this idea as we talked to the children about ways they could turn a sad into a happy Sarah encouraged them to find someone today to do that for.  Then when we do we Shine from the inside out - cue song.  After the song we did a plug for holiday club then closed with a prayer.
