Pentecost Craft!!Can you use any of these

ideas from Google to help you remember the

story?!!Look at the painty

pictures - can you see which is made by blowing paint through a straw and which by dragging it with

a fork? !!Maybe you have your

own ideas? !!What words might you add to your creation? !!

p.s. The reason for the dove will become clear in

the Reflect and Pray zone.!!

I’m looking forward to seeing your ideas - send

in pics to sarah@testwoodbaptist.org

What is it? !!The disciples were waiting for what Jesus was going to send them. I bet they were trying to guess! !!Try wrapping up some everyday objects !and asking your family members to guess !what they are just by feeling the package. !If you don’t want to use wrapping paper, !choose small objects and put them inside socks!!!It’s fun to guess everyday objects, but when the gift for the disciples arrived, it was in no way ordinary at all! The Holy Spirit brought amazing changes in the lives of the Jesus-followers.!!!Wind and Fire !!Can you make some streamers? You! can use ribbons, strips of wrapping !paper or tissue paper - or you can !colour strips of white paper with felt !tips. Then attach them to something! - a cardboard tube, a curtain ring, a !bangle, lolly sticks, or rolled up paper. !!Now swirl them! Here’s the link to make these streamers (There are lots of good ideas on this site - scroll to the bottom for the streamers): !!https://www.daniellesplace.com/html/bible-crafts-pentecost.html#twiler!!If you make one for wind and one for fire, then you are ready to dance along to this cool story song from Bob Hartman’s Rhyming Bible. Challenge yourself by listening to the words to make sure you’re swirling the right streamer at the right time!!!https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CBQyw_1Wc_A !!! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! !!! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! !!!

Everything Changed!!!The Holy Spirit brought huge changes to the lives for the disciples, and to the lives of those around them. !!Try one of these change games: !!* Shhh! Go out of the room and change an item of clothing for a different one.

Now come back in and see if anyone notices the change!!* Put 10 - 15 small items on a tray. Show a family member. Now change one

item. Can they spot which you’ve changed? !* Ask a family member to go out of the room. Now move an item (a photo, a

book, the TV remote, the cat) to somewhere else in the room. Can they come back in and spot what’s changed? !!!
