Sunday May 29 - The Holy Spirit

Copyright Gospel Communications International, Inc - www.reverendfun.com


We started to look at the coming of the Holy Spirit today, and explored some of the many facets of His work – creative, breath of life, fire, dove, wind, invisible – all accompanied by power point images; the funniest was of course when we stopped and looked at a blank screen – well it would be since the Spirit is Invisible!!

We talked about the work and the gifts of the Spirit and discovered just how dependent we are on Him – in strengthening, coping, guiding, enabling, healing, giving and forgiving and a whole host of others.

The continuity of the Spirit’s work since before the beginning of time was explored and so was the meaning of The Spirit of Truth; and we discussed what that means for ourselves and explored Truth about God, Ourselves and Life.

We also decided that the Spirit is not a gate-crasher – He’s a free gift and ours for the asking. Alleluia!

Among others, our songs included Jesus is Lord, Spirit of Holiness, The Spirit lives to set us free and altogether we had a wonderful morning!

Next week, as it’s All Age Praise, we’ll be making ‘golden’ Crowns, re-enacting the Pentecost story and blowing up balloons and bubbles to represent the coming of the Spirit.

A warm (and windy) welcome is waiting for you!

Deacon Olivia
