Tonight the ‘Churches Together’ meeting celebrating Pentecost was held at Furlong Road Methodist Church, where the beautiful banners and photographs remind us of the creativity God has given us:
Karen Beecham told us a ‘godly story’ (as used by the Methodist church in three local primary schools) about the Tower of Babel and the coming of the Holy Spirit at Pentecost.
Building the tower:
The tower falls and the unity of one language in the world is replaced by multiple different languages:
When the Holy Spirit came upon the disciples at Pentecost, they received the power to speak in other languages and to witness to all Jesus had done:
Afterwards, we were given the opportunity to engage in different activities.
Some built their own towers, with young helpers!
Some used Lego to build means of evangelism!
Some were involved in sewing:
Some were involved in drawing or using playdough to make models:
Some investigated children’s books and how to work with children:
Our thanks to the Methodist Church for hosting this meeting and providing refreshments for us all and to all who came to make this a really interesting evening, full of worship, prayer, conversation and fellowship.
