Quite often, these assumptions can be quite wrong, as the story makes clear. My challenge to us all is to consider the assumptions we make and to ensure that we give people every opportunity to show what they are truly capable of.

Help us to remember we are all unique. We discussed how not to judge people and how we must treat everyone with respect. Wmake sure everyone has fair/equal opportunities. We all have talent and gifts from God. ##### 6B *15 September 2025* We discussed how not to make assumptions and how everyone deserves equal treatment and respect. We talked about how not to judge a book by its cover and thought about how sometimes we make assumptions about people, which is wrong! ##### 4A *15 September 2025* 4A - Never assume people can't do something, they might surprise you! Always give them a chance to try. ##### 2B *15 September 2025* We liked this story as it teaches us to give everyone a chance and not assume things. ##### 5A *15 September 2025* Thank you for this worship.
