Lindal and Marton School

This morning Sarah and I went to do the assembly at Lindal and Marton School.  It seems such a long time since we had seen the children (before Easter)  We started with Be Happy before Sarah talked about Easter holidays and asked who had been away - hands went up.  She explained that when we go away our girls always ask if we are staying over on the way at Premier Inn - why?  Eat as much as you like breakfast.  Sarah then asked if any of the children had had breakfast in a strange or unusual place we gave some examples.  This led into the breakfast on the beach story from John's Gospel.  After the story I explained that Jesus forgave Peter for what he had done and was now asking him to look after the disciples - I also explained that Peter went onto start the church.  Sarah picked up the forgiveness theme and explained that what Peter did afterwards was to shine from the inside out - cue for a song.  After the song Sarah finished with a prayer.
