Low Furness School

This morning Sarah and I went into Low Furness School for the assembly.  We started the assembly off by singing God's Love is Bigger than a Burger then I went on to talk to the children on the theme given to us by the school which was St Luke.  So after giving a brief account of who he was I then talked about what he did and how what he did was so important, he wrote the gospel of Luke as well as the Acts of the Apostles.  We then played a bit of a game with two children.  I asked them to write a letter to someone about a celebrity they had met recently - but each time they wrote something down about the person they swapped letters with the other person, this then made for a very funny sounding letter once it was read.  The point was that details of events can sometimes get mixed up and then the account sounds funny, however in the opening sentence in Luke he tells us how he investigated everything from the beginning by talking to people that knew Jesus.  I told the children that because he had done just that then Luke's Gospel is probably more detailed than the other gospels.  I then encourage them to read some of the great stories Luke put into his gospel.  Sarah added her own thoughts to the assembly then we went on to sing the Chicken Dance song as it was raining outside and the children won't be going out to play so the song would help them to loose some energy.  I then closed with a prayer.
