This lively, interactive storytelling tells the story of Pentecost from Acts 2:1-11 (12-21, 41-42) using the element of a birthday party (candles, balloons, streamers, and cupcakes). Fill your sanctuary with the surprised gasps and joyful laughter that filled the crowd on that day long ago.
Illustrated Ministry's Storytelling with Shapes Video: Pentecost provides a fun and creative retelling of the story of Pentecost. This two-minute and thirty-four-second video could be used for a children's moment during worship or during Sunday School or youth group.
It can be used with or without the accompanying Storytelling with Shapes: Pentecost, which guides you through a creative, engaging, and tactile way of experiencing the story of Pentecost. Because of the varying degrees of difficulties in the puzzles, Storytelling with Shapes: Pentecost can be used by many age groups, children, youth (6th–12th grade), and even during intergenerational events.
