Burlington School

This morning Sarah and I went to do the assembly at Burlington School.  It was great to see the children again.  We started with Be Happy before Sarah started to talk about holidays.  She mentioned that when we go away on a long journey we stay over in a Travel Lodge or a Premier Inn - the children prefer the Premier Inn as we get all you can eat breakfast.  Sarah then asked the children if they had ever had breakfast in an unusual place - we got a few interesting replies.  Then she asked about having breakfast on the beach - as this linked into the story today.  Before I read the story I explained that Peter one of Jesus' closest followers had before Jesus was crucified said he didn't know Jesus three times, then fast forward past the events of Easter and Peter is on the beach.  I told the breakfast on the beach story using visuals from the Lost Sheep company.  Afterwards I explained what was happening in the story, Jesus was asking Peter if he loved him which was his way of forgiving Peter for what he had done.  Jesus also was asking Peter to take care of the rest of the followers which he did as the church was form following the events of Pentecost.  Sarah pointed out that Jesus will forgive us what we do wrong if we say sorry to him.  We then sang Shine and Sarah finished off with a prayer followed by the Lord's Prayer.
