Low Furness School - Experience Pentecost Day

This blog is a little later was hoping to have some pics!  The day happened yesterday Wednesday.  We had a great time at the school, we had set up 6 stations around the inside of the school building and the children all visited each station for about 10mins.  We had a Waiting Station were they reflected about having to wait and be patient for something to happen, there was the Receiving Station where the children heard about how the Holy Spirit came down the children then wrote or drew a prayer on a bunting flag, then there was a Telling Station where the children lit a candle using the flame from just 1 candle this demonstrated how the word spread, then there was a Sharing Station where the children heard about the church is not so much the building but the people and they bring with them all kinds of gifts music, money, teaching etc, next the children went to a Doing Station here they heard the story of Peter and John healing the lame man by the temple gates and finally the Growing Station here there was a world globe and the children could look at other churches from around the world and be reminded of how the church grew. At the end all the children came back together as we finish the morning off.  I asked them who didn't know what Pentecost was before they had come to school and nearly ever hand went up then I asked who knows what it is now and nearly every hand went down which I thought was great. So all in all a fantastic day and a big thank you to everyone that helped out.
