Vicarage Park School

On Monday Sarah and I went over to Vicarage Park School to do the assembly.  The theme was helping others and asking for help.  So after singing God can do anything we retold the story of the feeding of the 5000.  Sarah introduced the story saying that it is an important story and that it appears in all 4 gospels.  I then told the story using a Big Ministries book which had actions for certain key words, like small, big, noisy, hungry, bread and fish.  Each time the words came up the children either said something or did an action.  After the story Sarah then explained that the little boy in the story offered his small packed lunch, his small action then helped thousands of other people.  Before this the disciples had asked Jesus for advice as to what to do with the crowd.  Sarah said that we should look around to see were we can help people in what ever small or large way we can because like the boy in the story his small helping action turned into something massive.  Sarah also said when we help in this way we Shine from the inside out - cue song.  after the song Sarah closed the assembly with a prayer.
