NT BX4 Low Furness School

This afternoon I had an enjoyable time with the children from year 5 and 6 at Low Furness School.  It was lesson 4 of Bible Explorer.  In the last lesson we had heard about Jesus being crucified and then resurrected, today we discovered what happened after he went back into heaven and what happened when the Holy Spirit came.  I told the story of Pentecost using a poem with a catchy repeating chorus which I encouraged the children to repeat.  The children learnt about the Jews punishing the Christians and trying to get rid of them but despite their best efforts the Christians spread out and therefore more people joined them.  There was a focus on three people mentioned in Acts, they were Philip, Paul and Peter.  Next week we shall be taking a closer look at the journeys Paul went on and learning about the gospel message spread even further.
