Pentecost
Children's sermon
Story Time At The Altar
86 Messages For Children
One day Jesus' friends came together. They were sad because Jesus was no longer with them. They missed Jesus, but suddenly there was a loud noise that sounded like the flapping of many wings and everyone covered their ears. They saw what seemed to be tongues of fire rest on the heads of each of them, and they were filled with God's Spirit. They spoke, but in different languages. They knelt on the floor and thanked God for God's love and presence. They told the story of Jesus around the world, for that was the day the church was born.
There was once a man who loved God. Because he loved God, he loved other people. One day he met a sick man who needed medicine and a doctor and a place where he could get well. The man said, "I will build a hospital. But I cannot build a hospital alone. I need others who will help me." The man found other people who loved God. Because they loved God, they loved others, too. Together they built a hospital. Together they bought medicine. Together they paid the doctors and the nurses who cared for the sick. There were many things the man could do alone to show his love. There were many things he needed others to help him do. The church is like that, people who love God and serve and help others alone and together.
Talk together: At Pentecost we gather together in the church. What do you like best about our church?
Prayer: When we are afraid, God, remind us of your church, the gathering place where we love and worship you, and where we are loved, too. Amen.
