We did our last assembly of the year at Low Furness today. I wanted a story they could remember over the summer as well as give them something to think about. It was also the last assembly with the year 6 children so I wanted them to take something with them to their new school.
Jonah came to mind yesterday, I was told to go and he did in the opposite direction which is what we do at times. But God had a plan for his life as he has for ours, also God protects us and looks after us. God sent the fish to Jonah, Jonah then went the right way.
Sarah told the story from one of the kids bibles and I encouraged children to help act out the story. Some became a boat others sign posts still others operated a dark sheet for the sea. We prayed with the children and for the leaving year 6 class before singing Wonderful Lord together, Sarah's heart was melted by one little boy's singing.
It is an absolute privilege to be able to go into these schools and interact with these children. We don't know what September will bring but it is my prayer that God will direct us back into the schools to continue the work started this year and to perhaps increase it as well. Looking back over the year it has been fantastic. Praise the Lord.
