Crosthwaite School

This afternoon Sarah and I went over to Crosthwaite School with our Easter assembly.  To start with we sang Inright Outright, as it says Jesus cared for me when he died on Calvary.  To retell the Easter story we used an egg puppet called Benedict and had loads of eggy yolks in the assembly egg cept Sarah kept on poaching all of Benedict's before he could crack them.  The talk also involved coloured ribbons which 7 children held up during the assembly each one a different colour.  The colours represented a different aspect of the Easter story.  We had a green one for Palm Sunday, a purple one for royalty, a black one for sin, a red one for the blood of Jesus, a white one for the grave clothes also Jesus appeared in white later, an orange one to represent the sun a new dawn a new start and then a gold one for eternal life with Jesus.  Each of the ribbons were pulled out of the top of Benedict's head.  Sarah then did a recap of the 7 colours and reminded the children why we have Easter eggs. We then sang God can do Anything - like raising Jesus from the dead.  We closed the assembly after the song with a prayer.
