Low Furness School

This morning Sarah and I were asked to do a special assembly for the children at Low Furness School.  As the theme for this half term is on friendship we decided to do an assembly along those lines.  So after singing So Many Ways to Praise the Lord I told the story of Jesus healing the paralysed  man, and focused on the fact that four of his friends needed to carry him to see Jesus and even then as the house was so full they took him up on to the roof broke through the roof and lowered him down to the feet of Jesus - Jesus saw how much faith the friends had and healed the man.  To tell the story I used my square to cross prop which can be moved into different shapes to reflect different parts of the story.  Sarah then summed up what the friends had done for the man saying how strong the friendship was between them and encouraged the children to be good friends like they had been.  Then to close we sang Shine and Sarah said a prayer.  Before and then after the assembly we played I Love You and the younger children started to sing and sign the words it was great to see.
