On the day of Pentecost, the Holy Spirit came upon the church with what seemed like tongues of fire and with the sound of a violent wind. The result was that the 120 gathered in the Upper Room spoke supernaturally in other languages and witnessed to the glory of God. Our quiz at tonight’s family service, exploring the theme of ‘Pentecost Power’, looked at recognising different languages and famous proverbs…courtesy of Google Translate, so don’t expect too much accuracy!
Knowledge is power, in Italian!
Do everything with love, in French.
Be yourself, for everyone else is already taken, in Spanish.
Too blessed to be stressed, in German.
Our thanks to Stephen and Stacey for the quiz, which had prizes connected with the theme (a windmill for the wind of the Spirit to blow, bubbles to signify the overflowing joy of the Spirit, a watering can since the fruit of the Spirit need to grow in our lives (not to put the fire out, as Dave suggested!) and ‘Heroes’ to eat, since the Spirit makes heroes of ordinary people!
