Lindale School

This morning Sarah and I travelled down to Lindale School to do the assembly.  It was the first time we had seen the children since before Christmas.  Sarah started by asking the children if they liked animals and then asked what kinds of animals such as cat, dog, rabbit, stick insect, spider etc.  This led into the telling of the Lost Sheep story.  As I told the story the children laughed at the visuals on the screen as Cecil the Sheep got lost and was then found.  Sarah explained that it was a story Jesus told and that God is like the shepherd and we are like the sheep.  Then as much as the shepherd was delighted that he had found his lost sheep, God is also delighted in us when we turn to follow him.  This led into talking about how much God loves us and the song God's Love is Bigger than a Burger.  After the song I finished with a prayer.
