St Mary's RC Ulverston

This morning Sarah and I went along to St Mary's Ulverston for our first visit of the new school year.  It was really good to see all the children again.  One little girl looking at Sarah said 'you're the burger lady aren't you' being slightly confused Sarah enquired a little more 'you see that song God's Love is Bigger than a Burger!!!' simply brilliant.  To start off the assembly feeling very happy we sang Be Happy.  After the song I showed the children a collection of items which in some way had a common theme like  hard hat, cycle helmet, work gloves, ear defenders etc  they all help protect us.  Sarah then read a version of Jesus calming the storm and I then drew the link between the items and the story in that Jesus is there always to protect and look after his people.  It is the ups and downs of our lives like the storm and when we are up we are happy but when we are down and don't know what to do or where to turn Jesus is there waiting for us to call to him.  I linked what I was saying to Wonderful Lord song which we sang next.
