St John’s Kids – Photo Reminder
This week, our Grade 4/5/6s will be creating a church family collage, which the wider congregation will be invited to add photos or drawings to in following weeks. It would be much appreciated if each child in those year levels would bring a family photo with them to St John’s Kids.
Note: For privacy and child-safe reasons, no names will be displayed with the photos.
Going Bananas 2021 is happening!
Last week we announced our plans for this year’s Going Bananas school holiday program.
Parents: Sign up to be notified as soon as registrations open (late-May).
Volunteers: We need many hands to make this outreach event successful. We need volunteers to help with small group leadership, welcoming, craft, tech, decoration/set making, hospitality, cleaning, etc. Please register your interest and we will be in touch.
This week is Pentecost, a celebration of the coming of the Holy Spirit – first descending like tongues of fire upon the disciples and new believers in Jesus, and then being available to all those who believe in Jesus … including us today!
This week, have some fun celebrating as a family. You might like to:
- Wear RED to church on Sunday
- Have a little party at home
- Decorate with symbols of Pentecost: tongues of fire or doves (Origami Dove, Paper Plate Dove)
- Have cake and sing Happy Birthday to the church. You could use candles that never blow out and talk about how the church will also never be extinguished!
- Read, Reflect and Pray
- Activity Sheet
- Pentecost Science: Wind / Light and Colour
Have a great week,
Kylie – Children & Families’ Minister
