St Peters School

This morning I went to St Peters School to take the assembly.  After singing Be Happy I retold the story of Jesus walking on the water towards Peter and his friends in the fishing boat.  The story was a Bob Hartman one in which each line is repeated 3 times with a key word at the end of each line for the children to respond to which adds an element of fun to the story.  After the story I talked about two things the fact that Peter trusted Jesus enough to get out of the boat and that as long as he kept his eye on Jesus he was OK, but then when he did take his eye of Jesus and started to sink Jesus was on hand to raise him up showing his love for Peter.  After the story we sang Shine and I closed the assembly with a prayer followed by the Lord's Prayer.
