Forgive us our trespasses as we forgive those who trespass against us...

Our theme of forgiveness continue this week.


How often do we say or think these things:

I hate you!     I'll get you!!    I'll get even with you!!

The Lord's Prayer reminds us to "forgive those who trespass against us". Can you do this?

In assembly we will hear about an extraordinary man called Gordon Wilson. Gordon lost his daughter when a bomb exploded near to them in 1987. Most people would be filled with hate if this happened to them but Gordon forgave the people who did this. Here is a quote from a book about him:

" To the astonishment of listeners, Wilson went on to add, "But I bear no ill will. I bear no grudge. Dirty sort of talk is not going to bring her back to life. She was a great wee lassie. She loved her profession. She was a pet. She's dead. She's in heaven and we shall meet again. I will pray for these men tonight and every night."

Do you have the strength to forgive? When might you be able to follow Gordon Wilson's incredible example?

Here I Am To Worship

Here is an uplifting worship song called 'Here I Am To Worship'. It talks about worshipping God because he died for our sins.



This version is sung by Michael W Smith.

Jason Robinson

The man who scores this try is a Christian. Jason Robinson is is his name.

In his autobiography he tells us that he "had everything" - he had money and friends and success.

So why did he become a Christian do you think?

Amazing Grace

Paul's Conversion... Forgiveness In Action...

We watched this in assembly. Isn't the forgiveness that God shows breathtaking?

What does this mean for us and our everyday lives?

The Story of Zacchaeus the Tax Collector

2000 years ago - tax-collectors were not very popular to say the least. They were often seen as greedy and mean. The complete opposite to how Jesus wants us to live!

Imagine the fuss it must have caused when Jesus said he was going to stay at the house of such a man! His disciples would have been thinking: "Why spend time with a person who is greedy and mean?" Have a look at Luke 19 in the Bible to read the story.

You could also watch this video, think about our assemblies so far this term and consider forgiveness. Can you see why Jesus spent time with this man?

When the Music fades

This is one of the songs that we will be learning in singing assembly.

It is a beautiful song by Matt Redman
