Penny Bridge Academy

This morning Sarah and I went to do the assembly at Penny Bridge.  We started with God's Love is Bigger than a Burger, then Sarah told her story about Millie her cat.  The would greet her each day as she came home from work and sit on her knee as they relaxed in front of the television.  Well one day this was happening and Millie jumped down walked across the room and did a massive poo on Sarah's new carpet - then expected to get back up on Sarah's knee for more Sarah and cat time - Sarah wasn't happy.  This reminded Sarah of us in a way, because we come close to God then go and make a mess of things and still come back to God.  Despite the mess we make of things God still loves us, link to the song we had sung to start.  Sarah then went on to tell the prodigal son story that Jesus told explaining that God is like the father who holds his arms open wide waiting for us to run to him.  I then displayed John 3:16 and talked a little about the love that God has for us in sending Jesus - linking this to Christmas which we will be celebrating in a few weeks time.  I then linked it to our next song Inright Outright.  After the song I closed the assembly with a prayer.
