Whole School Worship led by Rev Matt

In our Whole School Thursday Worship this week, Rev Matt shared the Bible story - Ruth Finds a New Home
We started with our challenge which involved being good at charades. 
The children acted out a feeling and the other children sat down had to guess what it was. We had sad, angry, happy, excited and worried. 
We have been thinking about compassion.
The Bible story - Ruth Finds a New home is about  Ruth, a woman from Moab, chose to stay with her mother-in-law Naomi and move to Bethlehem after her husband died. There, she worked hard gleaning barley in the fields of Boaz, a relative of Naomi. Boaz was impressed by her kindness and loyalty, and he eventually married her, providing a new home and a place in God's family for both Ruth and Naomi. 
The story is filled with compassion so it led us to our questions - Who shows us the most compassion and who do we show it to. We had answers such as family, friends, trusted adults, teachers and God.
The children have showed compassion to everyone that they have come across, including their pets.
Rev Matt finished with a lovely prayer about compassion and asked the children sto think how they could show this more around school this week.
