All age service for Pentecost Sunday

We had one of   our occasional All age services this morning . At this time of year we often have one for Fathers Day but this year it was decided to have the service on Pentecost Sunday. Liz led worship wonderfully well as usual  ,Mark and Emma led very thoughtful prayers and Elise did a brilliant talk on" Pentecost; before and after."
The talk involved dressing Mitch up in a superhero outfit (it would take too long to explain!)

Because this was an all age service and not a children's talk we finished with a serious challenge to all  people to be filled with the Holy Spirit as we need to do Gods work equipped with Gods power.
A good number of people responded which was encouraging
As people made their response we played a  video of a powerful song by Tim  Hughes who has written some excellent material

The Spirit's Edge 3

The authours give 3 final signs of the Spirits presence
Let there be unity around Jesus
Faith is maintained by keeping the unity that is already given to the church
Let there be ecstasy and intimacy

to be enthused literally to be en-theos in dwelt by God by The Holy Spirit Christ indwells us that is an incredible thought for any struggling Christian Christ indwells us

Let there be liberation and transformation
2 COR 3 " Where the Spirit of The Lord is there is freedom"
The Spirit brings freedom


How we need to embrace the role of The Holy Spirit! We need a genuine encounter with God if we are going to build His Kingdom and glorify Jesus

untamed suggests practices to follow
The one I especially commend to you is to learn to discern The work of The Holy Spoirit in everyday life so for instance Where have I worked with The Spirit in the last week? Where Have I resisted The Spirit in the last week? What must I change?
