Love God's world in which we share...

Hello, everyone.

Welcome to Tuesday's Assembly Today you can see next to

me. I have our value off love, love God's world

in which we share.

So I've been thinking quite a lot over the last

week whilst we've been doing anti bullying week, how sometimes

we don't get on, but actually, our value of love

is really important.

Love to all of God's world in cute, including all

of mankind.

And that's whether it's people we know people we get

on with or people we've never met before.

But it's about showing compassion on humility, to care for

one another.

Now, as I said, I've been thinking about that a

lot. Anyway, last week and then Friday afternoon, whilst I

was in Year six, we looked.

We were looking at stories from the Bible from the

Gospels on we came across the story of the Centurion

Servant, which is Luke Chapter seven, which gives good examples

of how even when you can be on different sides,

you can show love and care for another human.

So I'm going to read this story to you today.

Your six.

Of course.

I hope you remember this because it was only Friday

afternoon that we looked.

Tip. There was a Roman soldier who lived in the

Army barracks at Cape in.

Um, he had heard about Jesus and his wonderful miracles

that he had performed on When his servant became very

ill. He believed that Jesus was his only hope.

The Roman soldier was an important man.

He was a centurion who had 100 men under his

command. He could have marched straight up to Jesus and

demanded his attention.

I need your help.

But once.

But the soldier had respect for others.

On was a very humble man.

Despite being a centurion.

I am a foreigner.

He thought I cannot ask Jesus for his health.

I'll send my Jewish friends.

So some of the Jewish elders of the synagogue came

to Jesus and said, Please help the Centurion.

He has shown us great love and care and even

paid for our synagogue.

I will visit him immediately.

Jesus promised.

But when the centurion heard that the great teacher was

on his way, he sent this message.

Lord, don't take the trouble to come to my home

yourself. I do not deserve to have you under my

roof. Which is why I have sent messengers to you.

Just say the word.

I am a soldier on.

I obey orders while the men under may obey my

orders. I simply say, do this and the men do

it. I say, Come here.

And they come at once.

Jesus was amazed that the man believed so deeply in

his power, trusting him to heal the servant without even

seeing him.

Look at the faith of this man.

Jesus said to his disciples, this man who is considered

an enemy has greater faith in anyone I have met

in the whole of Israel.

When the centurion went to his servants room, he found

that the man was alive and well.

He was completely cured off his illness.

Okay, so a really good example there from the Bible

of how two sides can work together can ask for

help. Now, when In Year six We were looking at

this story, we were thinking We're also thinking about the

10 Commandments on dhe.

What that means now, Whilst this isn't a 10 commandment,

we felt that this this came from the 10 Commandments,

that we should treated a ZX.

We wish to be treated now.

I think it's fair to say that we all would

like to be treated with love with care, with kindness,

with understanding on with humility.

So I'd like you to just take a moment now

to think back to your pledge that you made last

week. They're all nearly ready to go up on the

wall in the hall.

You may have seen the blank board that say's united

against bullying.

So I want you to just quietly take a moment

on Dhe.

Think of that pledge you made because that's one of

the ways that you Conshohocken love to people.

Oh, okay, So having thought about that, I know lots

of people talked about they were going to be a

defender against bullying behavior.

Andi, I just wanted you to think about what does

that actually mean?

Because sometimes I mean, when someone says defender to May

I think about someone in a football team.

I think about the job of trying toe defend goals

going into the net.

So it's about stopping something, but actually in terms of

in our school or at home or out in the

wider world, what does that actually mean?

Your teacher might want to pause this video now to

have a few minutes reflection or talk time.

Okay, I'm sure you came up with lots of great

ideas, But some of the key qualities that in school

that we're looking for is if you're being a defender,

is that if you see a behavior that isn't okay,

You tell that person to stop you go and get

an adult.

So you get that support there, you check that the

person that is upset is Okay, so those are three

things that you can do.

But I'm sure you came up with other things in

your list.

A ZX Well, okay.

I'm just going to finish with a poem today as

our prayer.

So I'd like you to listen carefully on if you

agree at the end.

Of course.

Please do say our men to show you care for

someone is to lend a helping hand a need to

be concerned for every woman, child and man share whatever

you can to help someone in need.

Then you will be had a happier on better person.

Indeed. When you share with others, you give unselfishly giving

yourself. Then love is given freely instead of sitting on

the shelf Hands are always clenched Nothing can ever get

out Once that are open on Give is what love

is all about All men.

I hope you enjoyed that poem that really made me

smile. Okay.

Thank you for listening.

And I will see you again tomorrow for Wednesday's assembly.

Bye bye for now.

Love God's world in which we share...
