St Paul's School Barrow

This afternoon Sarah and I have been to do the assembly at St Paul's School in Barrow.  Sarah started the assembly by saying how great it was to see the children after such a long time.  She then introduced the first song Be Happy by asking who was happy.  After the song I told the story of the Lost son or the Wild Son who Returned as the visual aid pictures I used called it, Sarah introduced it first by talking about parables and what they are.  As I told the story I focused in on the dad forgiving the son for what he had done and pointed out that Jesus came into the world so tell us and show us how to get to Heaven and forgiveness is a BIG part of that.  Saying sorry to God for what we have done as well as forgiving those that have done wrong to us.  Sarah concluded by talking about the Lord's Prayer and saying that with God nothing is impossible and God can do anything - so no matter how big or small the wrong is we have done God will forgive us we just need to say sorry.  There was a hint here at our second song God Can Do Anything.  After the song Sarah finished with a prayer followed by the Lord's Prayer.  Then as it was a special day - a relaxed day as about 50 children were away at Young Voices and the rest of the children had been doing fun things all day - we introduced them to the …..
