St Peters

This morning I went to do our first assembly of the new year at St Peters it was good to see the children again following the Christmas break.  I started the assembly by singing God can do anything then I showed a short video clip of two friends, they had grown up together, gone to school together and also university - but then they had taken different paths in life one became a judge the other a criminal.  One day the judge came face to face in the court room with his old friend who was now in big trouble, he had to let justice happen so fined him the maximum fine he possibly could for the crimes committed. But then the judge took off his robes and stood with his friend an paid the fine in full.  The theme was justice and the video showed justice taking place in the court room but then the price being paid by someone else.  This I reminded the children is like us, we do things wrong and we call this sin and justice needs to happen and a price paid but Jesus is the one who paid our price and paid it in full.  This just shows how big God's love is it is even bigger than a burger - cue song.  After the song I said a prayer then we all said the Lord's Prayer.
