Leven Valley School

This morning Sarah and I went down to Leven Valley School for the assembly.  We started off the assembly with singing Be Happy - Sarah had talked to the children about what a beautiful day it was and it makes you feel happy.  After the song I retold the story of Peter walking on the water to Jesus and keeping his eye fixed on him but then when he took his eye off him he started to sink.  I used a Bob Hartman book to tell the story and each line repeated three times and the last word was a key word for the children to respond to.  After the story Sarah talked with the children about trust and how Peter was OK as long as he kept his eye on Jesus but when he looked around him at what he was doing and where he was - on the water then he started to sink.  She encouraged the children to keep their eye on Jesus and to trust him as when we do we can Shine out God's love - cue song - Shine.  After the song Sarah closed the assembly with a prayer.
