Croftlands Junior School

This morning Sarah and I went to do the assembly at Croftlands Junior School.  It was great to see all the children again.  Sarah started the assembly by reminding the children that sometimes Jesus told stories - parables, then said that today the story we had for them was an event that actually happened.  I then used my square to cross prop, bending it into different shapes as I told the account of Jesus healing the lame man found in Mark 2:1-12.  The man was healed by Jesus and went out from the house running.  Sarah picked up on the idea that the man had 4 very good friends so asked the children what makes a good friend.  Sarah asked each child as they put their hand up and commented on what they said, we had things like showing kindness, helping someone out, trusting people.  Sarah linked what the children said into the song Shine.  After the song she finished with a prayer.
