In April, the Pathfinders class will be helping the kids learn about Pentecost in the Creative Cookery, Creation Station, and Faith Flicks rooms.
Main Idea
Through the Holy Spirit, we know God is with us, helping us live as faithful disciples.
Scripture(summary)
Acts 2:1-42
On the day of Pentecost, the Holy Spirit came to the disciples and to the believers in Jesus. The disciples and many believers were gathered in a house when the Holy Spirit came to them in the form of wind and flames. People outside the house who heard the noise commented and laughed derisively. Peter then spoke to the crowd and told them about Jesus. Three thousand people became believers and were baptized.
"All of them were filled with the Holy Spirit." -Acts 2:4
Objectives
Children will explore the following concepts:
- Hear the story of the coming of the Holy Spirit at Pentecost.
- Identify how the Holy Spirit empowered the disciples.
- Understand that we are empowered by the Holy Spirit.
- Define the Holy Spirit as "God with us now."
- Learn that the Holy Spirit can be present in our lives too.
