St Peters School

This morning Sarah and I went over to St Peters School for the assembly, the theme was Peace.  To start with we sang Creator God then Sarah introduced the assembly by talking about the first people Adam and Eve she asked the children if they knew what their names meant.  She explained that Sarah in Hebrew means 'princess'  and Adam and Eve means 'first people ever'  This led on to me retelling their story and how the snake tricked Eve into eating the fruit from the Tree of the Knowledge of Good and Bad.  I then handed over to Sarah who delivered the main point of the story which was done by asking the children to think about and imagine what things would have been like if Eve and then Adam had not taken the fruit and ate it.  She continued by saying that there would be no wars, no fighting, nobody would be unhappy, everyone would love each other and there would be peace throughout the whole world.  But because of what happened sin came into the world and those wrong things happen however we can all do our own little bit and play a small part by being peaceful to one another and by doing things in love.  To finish off we sang Faith as Small as a Mustard Seed then Sarah said a prayer followed by the Lord's Prayer.  Afterwards Sarah went over some of the words of the Lord's Prayer again to remind the children about what she was saying.
