Low Furness School

This morning Sarah and I were at Low Furness School.  The theme for the assembly was honesty so we decided to tell the Adam and Eve story, so in order to lead into it we sang Creator God first.  Sarah then asked the children the names of the first people in the world and as expected Adam and Eve came the answer.  She asked if anyone knew what their names meant as her name means 'princess' - the answer is - 'the first people ever'  She explained that God had made a beautiful garden for them to live in.  Then I told the story of Eve being tricked by the snake, then eating the fruit of the tree of knowledge, also giving it to Adam to eat and that later on that day the hid from God in the garden.  Sarah continued the story of how they didn't own up to it right away but blamed other things first - they were dis-honest.  Their dis-honesty resulted in them having to leave the garden and they then needed to work hard in order to live.  We concluded the assembly with a new song Faith as Small as a Mustard Seed.  Sarah then closed in prayer.
