Penny Bridge Academy

This morning Sarah and I did an assembly for the children of Penny Bridge Academy.  We decided to ask the girls that help us set up what song they wanted to sing - they picked God's Love is Bigger than a Burger.  After the song Sarah introduced the theme of the assembly which was on Respect.  I then showed a clip from the movie Finding Nemo.  The clip was the part when Nemo was going to swim out to sea, he was encouraged by his friends to do it, his dad came and tried to stop him but sadly Nemo disrespected his father and did swim out and even touched the boat.  Sarah explained that Nemo was being disrespectful towards his father which resulted in Nemo getting caught.  I then took my bible and said that in it there are stories of people both showing respect and being disrespectful towards each other as well as God.  I then talked about Moses and how he was called upon to lead the people and to teach them God's way by encouraging them to follow his laws.  I displayed the commandment about respecting your father and mother and explained that God wanted people to follow his laws so they would live a long and happy life, and we shouldn't just respect our father and mother but everyone.  Sarah then said when we do that we can then Shine from the inside out - cue song.  After the song Sarah closed the assembly with a prayer.
