Bible Explorer

Now here is a really blessing. Many years ago I did Walk Thru the Bible and loved it, so much so I did it again the following year. Now BX as it is known is the children version and I have been asked if I would like to be trained to teach it ... is that a daft question or what I said YES! YES! YES! This is just another one of God's ticks that confirms to us that what we are doing is from Him.

Praise God

Croftlands Infant School

Tuesday
This afternoon we took the assembly in the Infants school. We did a similar thing to the Juniors but I took along Henry the Hedgehog. Who behind my bag was getting excited about Christmas much to the amusement of the children. Again we told them about the time of year advent and what it means and reminded them that Christmas is about a baby born in a stable who's name was Jesus.

Croftlands Junior School

Tuesday
Today we visited the Junior school and we waited .... and waited..... and waited..... As that was what we wanted to talk about as it is coming up to advent. We showed a Power Point about what advent is and explained that Christmas is an exciting time that has lots to do with food, presents, Father Christmas, decorations etc but it is also the time of year when we remember the birth of Jesus. We told them to remember the real meaning of Christmas as they for Christmas Day.

Pennington C of E School

Monday
Did an assembly today for the school and took along Gary... The children thought he was great. We told the children about the importance of the Bible and about some of the things you might find in the Bible. Gary was standing on it to see out of his house!!! Sarah told him that he wouldbe better off reading it, Gary asked why and Sarah told him about the stories that we find in the Bible to which Gary then decided to get off the Bible and go and read it.

Windermere Junior School

Today we visited Windermere Junior School to take the assembly. We had a lovely drive up past the lake and marvelled at the wonderful orange, yellows, reds and browns on the trees - I think God has great fun with colours at this time of year.

The children and staff welcomed us as we played Friend of God as the children sat down in the hall. We started with Our God is a Great Big God before Gary came up and talked about his Bessie mate Ben (best mate that is). We then linked this to the friends that Jesus had when he was on the earth, Sarah asked the children to name the 12 special friends the children managed to name 7 which was good. We then talked about how some of them like Peter let him down, but Jesus forgave him and welcomed him back and in fact the church was started with Peter. Although we had slightly gone over time we sang Shine to end the assembly.
