Good afternoon School,
Kindly get ready for the Assembly. Please open your school diaries to page no. 52 and join us in singing the hymn “Give Me Oil in My Lamp.”
Today’s Assembly will be conducted by Class 5 G.
SCRIPTURE READING
Today’s Scripture Reading is from the letter of St. Paul to the Ephesians, Chapter 4, Verse 25:
“Therefore, having laid aside falsehood, each one of you speak the truth with his neighbour, for we are members of one another.”
The Word of the Lord.
Thanks be to God.
STORY
Once, there was a farmer who sold a pound of butter to a baker. One day, the baker decided to weigh the butter to check if he was getting the correct amount, only to discover he wasn’t. Angry, he took the farmer to court.
The judge asked the farmer if he used any measure to weigh the butter. The farmer replied, “Your Honour, I am primitive. I don’t have a proper measure, but I do have a scale.”
The judge then asked, “How do you weigh the butter?”
The farmer answered, “Your Honour, long before the baker started buying butter from me, I have been buying a pound loaf of bread from him. Every day, when the baker brings the bread, I put it on the scale and give him the same weight in butter. If anyone is to be blamed, it is the baker.”
Moral of the Story: In life, you get what you give. Don’t try and cheat others.
PRAYER
Let us pray.
Join your hands and bow your heads for the prayer.
Dear Lord,
Thank You for today. Thank You, Lord, for Your protection and love. Help us to focus our hearts and minds on all that we do in our School. Guide us by Your eternal light as we discover more about the world around us.
We ask all this in the name of our Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ.
Amen.
Let us continue by saying the Lord’s Prayer together.
