Windermere Juniors

This Morning we travelled up to Windermere Juniors to take the assembly.  We started with 'So Many Ways to Praise the Lord' before Mark told the story of Jesus walking on the water and Peter getting out of the boat to walk with him.  We used the Bob Hartman version of the story which repeats each line three times, but each time you can put a different emphasis on it.  So if the line was about being frighten then you could using a voice that sounded as if you were scared.  Also there was some audience interaction as some of the lines required the children to respond, so we displayed a number of key words that the children could use to finish the sentence.  At the end of the story Sarah talked to the children about faith and about trusting God and Jesus.  Sarah also spoke to the year 6 children with regard to their SAT tests next week and how they can ask for help by praying to Jesus about them.  The assembly finished by introducing the children to a new song 'Gaints of Faith' then Mark said a prayer.
