May 26th

This week's Bible story comes from Acts 2.
Peter speaks about Jesus
Peter stood up and told the crowds about Jesus-how He had come to show God's power and be put to death on a cross to pay for their sins. Peter told how God had made Jesus come alive again to defeat death. And he explained that Jesus kept the promises of the Old Testament.
"Repent and be baptized in the name of Christ for the forgiveness of sin, and you will be given the Holy Spirit," said Peter.
That day, three thousand people were baptized into the kingdom of God! Jesus' disciples were often in danger. But god helped them not to be afraid. They wanted people all over the world to know the good news that God loves the world so much that He sent His Son, Jesus, to save His people from their sins by dying on the cross.

May 22nd

This week's Bible story can be found in Acts 2:1-6.

The Holy Spirit comes to the believers

A few days after Jesus' ascension, on the day of Pentecost, all of Jesus' apostles met together in one place.
Suddenly there was a noise from heaven that sounded like a strong wind blowing. The noise filled the whole house. Then tongues that looked like fire appeared on each one. Everyone was filled with the Holy Spirit and could suddenly speak all kinds of different languages!
There were people in Jerusalem from many different countries, but they could all understand Jesus' apostles speak of the mighty works of God in their own language.

This week's activities will include:
*Pentecost crafts
*Placing 10 stickers on #10
