Croftlands Infants School

This morning Sarah and I were at Croftlands Infants for the assembly.  After saying hello we started the assembly with a good warming song - So Many Ways to Praise the Lord.  Then we displayed a series of pictures all of them optical illusions.  The idea was that we sometimes can see something different to everyone else and the children did, some saw one thing others saw differently.  This was a link to the story which was Samuel anointing David as King.  We see what Samuel saw in David's older brothers was not what God saw and then what God saw in David was not what Samuel saw - because God looks on the inside and we only look on the outside.  I part read part ad-libbed the story using the Lion Storyteller Bible.  After the story Sarah explained to the children that we only see what is on the outside of people, they may look nice, wear good clothes but inside they may be different.  She encouraged the children to Shine from the inside out which was a cue for a song.  After the song Sarah closed the assembly with a prayer.
