Peter - Called by Jesus

One of the things that I used to do, every three or four weeks, was to take the Wednesday church assembly at a local primary school. These were whole school assemblies (so 4-11 year-olds), held in the local Parish Church, on a Wednesday morning. The school is a Church of England school and it is directly opposite the church. And these assemblies were taken by a team of local church leaders.

Obviously, with the national lockdown due to coronavirus, the school building is now closed to most children, and most learning has moved online. And so have the assemblies. This term we are going ahead with our plan for the summer term which was a series on the life of Peter, taken from the gospels and the book of Acts.

This series started last week looking at the Calling of Peter from Luke 5:1-11. One of the things about this story is the way in which the disciples left everything to follow Jesus. Is that the kind of disciple I am?
