Spring 2

We enjoyed making stained glass candle votives in pairs. We considered the use of colours and the representation of each colour. We used an LED candle and thought about the Holy Spirit and the meaning of the flame.

Colours of Day (with lyrics) We listened to the song and discussed how it might link with what we have learned about the Holy Spirit. We discussed the use of music in Christian worship and talked about how Christians might be inspired by the Holy Spirit in their holy worship.

The Bible story of Pentecost is retold - with a twist. The 12 apostles are celebrating the harvest festival (of Shavuot) and one of them is recording events on his mobile phone. In truth none of the apostles feel much like celebrating - it is several weeks since Jesus left them to ascend into heaven, the apostles are scared and are in hiding, and the mood is pretty sombre. Suddenly there is a whoosh of air, the building rattles and tongues of fire appear all around. The apostles realise it must the Holy Spirit - the gift promised by Jesus when he departed. The apostles join with a crowd in the street, explaining what has happened. Suddenly they feel reinvigorated and ready for all the challenges that lie ahead of them.

We found out about Pentecost and the Holy Spirit. We looked at images of flames and then considered how the disciples felt at this time. We generated adjectives to describe their feelings.
