Lindale School

This afternoon Sarah and I went  down to Lindale Church as Lindale School where having an afternoon of Easter fun and celebration.  We start the event off with a couple of songs then the children with some parents went to do some Easter themed crafts.  Then we did our Easter assembly.  Harold took centre stage to entertain, remind us of the Easter message as well as tell bad jokes.  He told the children the reason he has a cross on his head, why he is so rounded, why there is yeast inside him, what the spices remind us of as well as why he has fruit inside him too!    Following Harold Sarah recapped the message by saying the cross was to remind us of the cross Jesus died on, the spice reminded us of the spices used to put onto Jesus' dead body, the rounded shape for the round stone which sealed the tomb, the yeast makes the bun rise which reminds us that Jesus rose and the fruit because on Easter day we say He is risen and buns everywhere reply He is a raisin indeed (told you the jokes were bad).  After this we sang Inright Outright before I closed with a prayer.
