Today’s Pentecost Party at Houghton Road Centre, Thurnscoe had a number of craft activities (including making fruit kebabs as we considered the fruit of the Spirit.)
Setting up the activities
Since it was a birthday party, we had a cake (of sorts) – multiple buns in the shape of the ‘Churches Together’ cross, thanks to Jackie:
We played ‘Pass The Parcel’ and enjoyed crazy golf outside:
We enjoyed hearing about the story of Pentecost through a godly play:
We heard about the tongues of fire and had red and orange balloons to remind us of the first Pentecost:
Thanks to all who prepared the lovely lunch:
All in all, we had a great time thinking about how the Holy Spirit helps us live for God and how He wants to grow His fruit within us – love, joy, peace, kindness, goodness, gentleness, patience, faithfulness and self-control.
