The Spirit Moves

This Sunday we will celebrate Pentecost, the birthday of the Christian church. We celebrate by dressing in red and with images of wind and fire to commemorate the Holy Spirit moving through the room and igniting the disciples to action.

We will hear the story of Pentecost during the service. As some of the images can be scary to sensitive children, I recommend reading the story in Acts 2:1-21 and discussing the imagery ahead of time. It is fun to use pin-wheels, wind chimes, or red balloons to talk about how the wind reminds us that the Holy Spirit put the breathe of life into the church and is with us still today.
