Low Furness School

This morning Sarah and I went to Low Furness School for the assembly.  The theme was on God's Love, so to start us off we sang God's Love is Bigger than a Burger.  Sarah then told the children a real life story about something that happened in her life with her cat Millie.  She explained that when she lived alone she bought a cat to keep her company and be there to welcome her home after work.  Well one day the cat was sat on her knee and Sarah was gently brushing her, when the cat suddenly got up and  did a massive poo on Sarah's new carpet, before re-joining Sarah to once again be brushed.  Sarah explained to the children that is what God is like with us, we make mistakes and then expect God to welcome us back each time (just as Millie did) and because he loves us so much he does welcome us back.  She reminded the children of the assembly that the year 5/6 class did before half term about the lost son - who wasted all his dad's money then went back to his dad - and his dad welcomed him back with open arms.  She pointed out to the children the theme for the half term is Love and encouraged them to look at the board with bible verses on it.  She also read John 3:16.  To close we sang Inright Outright before I closed with a prayer.
