Pentecost 2021 – Getting in the Spirit

“This Pentecost Sunday we want our children to know that when they receive the Holy Spirit God uses them to change the world.”

 

 

The story of Pentecost has been told by Christian for millennia. It’s an incredible story but sometimes in the retelling we lose some of the wonder and amazement of that day. Can you imagine what it would feel like to be the first people to experience the Holy Spirit!

This Pentecost Sunday we want our children to know that when they receive the Holy Spirit God uses them to change the world.
