Any assembly book that captures and keeps the attention of children is good news, and that was certainly true of John Wright's first In The Bag book. So it's great news that number two is here, with another year's worth of material covering Autumn, Spring and Summer terms.

Once again the assemblies have been tried, tested and given a huge thumbs up from their audience.

The aims are clear: to help the children to learn about God, to pull something 'out of the bag' to grab attention, to get the children doing and not just listening, and to reinforce the message with just the right amount of repetition.

It's a proven formula and one that has enough flexibility for you to stamp your own personality on the assembly. Use and enjoy!

Each assembly contains:

• Theme or aim
• Suggested prop
• Clear description of the method
• Message
• Suggested hymns and prayers
