Crosthwaite School

This afternoon Sarah and I went over to Crosthwaite School for the assembly.  To start off we sang God's Love is Bigger than a Burger, then Sarah asked the children if they had any friends as this linked into todays Bible story.  Sarah also pointed out that in the New Testament there are some stories which Jesus told and we call them parables but the story today was a real event.  I then used my square to cross prop to retell the story from Mark 2:1-12 were four friends lower their lame friend through a hole they cut in the roof.  I pointed out that Jesus healed the man because he could see the love that the friends had for the man as well as having great faith in Jesus.  Sarah then concluded by asking the children what makes a good friend and what kind of things should we do for our friends.  This linked with our final song Shine.  After the song Sarah finished with a prayer.
