Pennington School

On Monday afternoon Sarah and I went and did our first assembly of the new school year at Pennington School.  It was good to see all the children again and the new reception class came into assembly for the first time too..  We started with a new song Help Me Be Your Eyes Lord Jesus which led into our theme for the day.  Sarah talked about what we use our eyes for then linked into our story about a boy who used his eyes to see a problem and then he acted on it.  I then retold the story of Jesus feeding the 5000, I displayed pictures on the screen for the children to see as I told the story.  At the end I pointed out that the boy had used his eyes to see the problem and his hands to do something about it - Jesus caused a miracle to happen which enabled all the people to be fed.  At the end we asked the children what song to sing between Shine and Help Me Be Your Eyes - they picked Shine after the song Sarah closed with a prayer.
