Smiling Faces in Marchwood School!

Thanks to Penny & Charlie the monkey, for their help in todays assembly, wish you could see the smiles on the faces of the children as they learnt the importance of forgiveness & friendship.

“And how can they hear if nobody tells them?”
(The Bible: Romans chapter 10 verse 14

The contribution that evangelists and local churches can make to school assemblies and acts of collective worship is highly valued by many schools. A Christian visitor can often bring a great depth of wisdom, creativity and experience that adds to the pupils’ experience of the Christian faith!

If you have never done an assembly or want some ideas on what to do if the opportunity comes along, or if you would like to tag along sometime to see what happens, then contact me.

Speakers Corner in London’s Hyde Park is the oldest free speech platform in the world. People won the right to speak in mass protests in the 1860s and early 1870s. Some people believe the tradition is connected to the right of the condemned to a last speech before being hung at the Tyburn gallows, a practice that stopped at the end of the 18th century. Every Sunday people from all sorts of convictions come to Hyde Park in the afternoon to spread their message or to have fun.
