Pennington School - to bow or not to bow

This morning at Pennington School Sarah and I started the assembly with an old favourite - Great Big God as it fitted well with our theme about the fiery furnace in Daniel 3.  Following the song I told the story of Shadrach, Meshach, and Abednego and how they stood up for what they believed and didn't follow the crowd when they bowed down to a statue of the king.  As a prop I used the trick I bought for holiday club.  Following this Sarah added a bit about God looking after us and protecting us which led nicely into Wonderful Lord, during which I said a prayer.
