Pentecost

RESOURCES

- Newspaper, cello tape, scissors, gift items

INTRO

Good morning today we are talking about Pentecost which is a special time of year for Christians. And to get us thinking we are going to play a game.

GAME/SKETCH/ILLUSTRATION

Guess the team members gifts. 3 items are lined up (or as many items as there are people delivering the assembly) and by a hand up vote the kids have to say which goes with each team Member. If you only have one person doing the assembly, have 3-5 items and get them to guess which ones are your gifts.

Well the point of that game is to illustrate that we all have different gifts and sometimes they are surprising. Pentecost is when Christians think about God sending his Holy Spirit to us and the different gifts He has given us.

GAME/SKETCH/ILLUSTRATION

4 kids up – 2 teams of 2, have to build tallest tower out of newspaper. 30 seconds to do it. Then give them cello tape and scissors and give them another 30 seconds to try again.

DEVELOPMENT

Say - When they started the game it was difficult cos they didn’t have tools they needed to do it well. When they just had newspaper it was hard to make a tall tower because it would fall over really easily but when I gave them the cello tape and scissors it meant that they could stick it all together and make it stronger.

Christians believe that Pentecost is the time when God gave all of the Christians his Holy Spirit and gave us the tools we need to do the job he asks us to do. Pentecost is the time when the church first started and the Bible says that God gave the disciples the abilities they needed – they all became good at languages so that they could speak to everyone.

We believe that everyone here has lots of different talents and skills and abilities and we believe that you can use those in ways to help each other and you work to your full potential.

PRAYER/ REFLECTION

Maybe you would like to think about how you can use your skills to their full potential and how you can use them to help people at home and at school. Or you can pray with me.

Dear God thank You for the gifts you have given us and thank you that in the Bible it says that you will equip us for the job we have to do.

Amen.
