Pennington School

On Monday afternoon Sarah and I went to do our Love in the Bible assembly at Pennington School.  It was our first visit of 2019 and was great to see all the children again.  We started with God's Love is Bigger than a Burger before Sarah introduced the theme.  She explained that the Bible is full of stories and a lot of them are about love or show love in some way.  I then displayed a series of pictures and asked the children what the story was from the Bible.  We had David, Moses, Ruth, Esther and then Jesus.  I gave a quick account of the love they had either for the people, a person or God - and in some case's all of the above.  I finished with John 15:12 Love one another as I have loved you.  Jesus used these words to his followers and they are also for us. Sarah then explained what they mean to us today and encouraged the children to do the same show love by being kind, helpful, using nice words etc.  To finish off we sang Shine then Sarah closed with a prayer.
