Church Walk Primary School

This morning I went to Church Walk Primary School for the assembly.  We started by singing God's Love is Bigger than a Burger before I told the children the story of Sarah's cat Millie.  Millie would sit on Sarah's knee and Sarah would stroke her and Millie would purr.  One day while this was happening Millie jumped down walked across the floor and did a massive poo on the carpet (the new carpet).  Then she walked back to Sarah jumped up onto her knee again expecting the same as before.  Sarah was not happy as Millie had made a mess.  Then Sarah got to thinking about it and us and we are like that (we don't poo on the carpet) but we do things wrong, make a mess and expect God to love us just the same as he always has, which he does as his love is so big link to the song.  I then told the prodigal son story and how when the son came  to go back home his father was there waiting for him with arms wide open ready to welcome him home again - God is like that father too.  I then explained the next song Inright Outright to the children in that God sent Jesus to us at Christmas and that is what Christmas is all about - God showing us his love in sending Jesus to care for us.  We sang the song and I then finished with a prayer.
