Broughton School

This morning Sarah and I did our Easter assembly for the children at Broughton School.  We started with Inright Outright then Sarah introduced Benedict the eggy friend.  He has a number of tabs coming out of his head each one has a coloured ribbon which helps to tell the Easter story.  But to lead us into it there was an exchange of egg inspired jokes or should that be yolks?  We then cracked on with the assembly egg actly as planned.  Seven children helped to remove the ribbons from Benedict's head as Sarah called the colour out he told the children what each one represented, green for Palm Sunday, purple for royalty, black for sin, red for the blood of Jesus, white for empty tomb and folded grave clothes, orange for a new dawn -sun rise and finally gold for eternal life with Christ.  After Sarah did a recap of all the colours and reminded the children about Easter eggs and what they can represent.  To finish we sang God can do anything before I closed with a prayer.
