  JESUS, THE MIRACLE WORKER

An assembly idea

Assembly title

Jesus, the miracle worker

Age group

5-11

Brief aim

A visual assembly that shows how Jesus performed miracles     Christian based
 
Resources
Glass jug of water (transparent)
Several glasses (transparent)
Tray with a high lip/Cloth
Red food dye

Assembly idea

Explain the idea of Jesus as a miracle worker and start to read the story of Jesus at the wedding of Canaan. As you read through the story, clearly show the children that you are pouring water from the jug into the glass.  Hold the glass at the bottom concealing the base. Do this as the story allows. When it gets to the part when Jesus turns water into wine, pick up the glass as before and pour water into the glass. The children are amazed to see the water turning into wine.
This may be a cheap visual trick but pulls every child onto the assembly and the awe and wonder of Jesus's acts.
 

  The Lost Sheep

Assembly title
The Lost Sheep

Age group
4-11

Brief aim
God loves us so much that He would come looking for us if we were the only one’s needing rescuing.

Assembly idea
Last week I lead a whole school primary assembly on the lost sheep. 

We used inflated balloons adapted as sheep, then 4 pupils tried to get their sheep into the “pens” (under a chair) using cardboard rolls as crooks for assistance. 

I read the passage from the Bible about the lost sheep and we likened ourselves to sheep, easily led astray. 

(The visual aid of the balloon race helped.) 

We ended with a prayer of thanksgiving that God loves us so much that He would come looking for us if we were the only one’s needing rescuing, and thanking Him for His love and care.
