Lindale School

This morning Sarah and I went for our second visit to Lindale School.  It was great to see all the children again they gave us such a warm welcome.  To start the assembly we sang God's Love is Bigger than a Burger then I told the story of Abraham and showed some pictures as I did so.  I explained that he was a man of about 75 years old when God told him to move on.  He also told him that his wife Sarah was going to have a baby except she was about 70!  Well we all know the story and Abraham did as God said and a baby was born and later on the Jewish people numbered in their millions.  God was faithful to Abraham and Sarah and look after them no matter what they did or where they went.  Sarah then reminded the children that that is true today.  God is with us and looks after us no matter what we do or where we go.  She linked this to the children moving on no only in the school but also the year 6 children on to secondary schools too.  She said that God holds us in his hands.  She reminded the children what it says in the Bible in the book of Joshua 1:9 Be strong and courageous. Do not be afraid; do not be discouraged, for the Lord your God will be with you wherever you go.  After this we sang Great Big God and closed with a prayer.
