Low Furness School

This morning Sarah and I did our first assembly of 2016 at Low Furness school.  Our theme was God's compassion for his people, so after singing God can do anything, Sarah talked a bit about compassion and what it is to show compassion to other people.  I then told the story in my own words of when Jesus was in Galilee near to Cana and he was teaching people, a royal official came to hum and begged Jesus to heal his son.  Jesus did and the man went away again, however as he arrived home the following day he was met by people from his household who told him his son was well.  When the man asked what time it happened it was at the exact time Jesus spoke to him - Jesus showed compassion towards this man and his son.  Sarah went on to explain this to the children.  After this we sang Shine before Sarah closed the assembly with a prayer.
