Children’s Program, May 19, 8:30am
This weekend we learn about Pentecost and the coming of the Holy Spirit with wind and fire. We learn that we are never alone for God is with us always, and we celebrate God’s love by serving God and others. The children’s program begins in our 8:30am service. After receiving a blessing, the children leave for their activities.
The Lesson
In the dramatic story of Pentecost, the Holy Spirit comes upon Jesus’ followers in Jerusalem with the sound of a “fierce wind” and what seemed to be “flames of fire” alighting on the disciples. The Spirit was poured out on people “from every nation under heaven living in Jerusalem.” They heard others speaking “in their native languages,” declaring “the mighty works of God.”
We celebrate the life-giving Spirit of God who is with the church now and forever. We are never alone. God’s Spirit is always with us. God’s grace gives us the Spirit and, in gratitude, we celebrate by serving God and others!
