Burlington School

This morning Sarah and I travelled over to Burlington School for the assembly. Sarah started by asking if the children thought they were brave, then asked if they were brave all the time - we had a number of very honest children putting their hands up and down.  Sarah continued to tell the children what we were going to talk about and it so happened that right at the front of the hall was a sign saying 'Be prepared' so introduced the theme of Easter and how people go themselves prepared for Easter.  Then we sang Inright Outright before Sarah introduced the story of Brave Peter - oh did I mention the chickens?  Oh yes they feature in the story too but are they brave?  I then told the story of Peter when he said that he didn't know Jesus using Peter and the Rooster story from the Lost Sheep Series - which had chickens in as well as a rooster - the story ends on a cliff hanger which we will conclude next time we visit...  Sarah then concluded the talk by asking about how Peter felt during this time so we had sad, mad, angry, disappointed etc  She then went on ask what they would do if they saw someone who was feeling a bit down the children offered some very good ideas.  Sarah then said that when we help others when they are feeling a bit low we Shine out Jesus - cue for a song.  After the song Sarah finished with a prayer.
