Last week Friday in church, the children had the chance to explore Pentecost (the church’s birthday) through a number of reflective activities. They made friendship bracelets, found countries on a map, learnt how to say hello in a number of languages, helped build a Lego heart, watched their dreams and hopes blossom on a folded piece of paper in a pool and practiced the tricky art of waiting by watching sea creatures go up and down in a fish lamp. While doing all these activities the children were invited to reflect on the experiences of the disciples at Pentecost from waiting to travelling round the world to following Jesus’ examples and teaching. They also were invited to think about how they would have felt and relate all this to their own lives. They thoroughly enjoyed themselves.
