Wind and Fire

What happened when Jesus’ friends stopped hiding?

After Jesus went up to heaven, his friends waited in Jerusalem, as he’d told them to. On the day of Pentecost, a sound like a rushing wind filled the house, little flames rested on each of them, and they spoke in languages they had never learned. A crowd from every country heard the good news in their own words. Peter, who had once hidden, stood up and preached, and about three thousand people joined them that day.

About this story: Wind and Fire (Acts 1:8; 2:1–41)

After Jesus went up to heaven, his friends waited in Jerusalem, as he’d told them to. On the day of Pentecost, a sound like a rushing wind filled the house, little flames rested on each of them, and they spoke in languages they had never learned. A crowd from every country heard the good news in their own words. Peter, who had once hidden, stood up and preached, and about three thousand people joined them that day.

About 7 minutes: 4 choices and 2 ways-of-knowing stops. Kids play one of the waiting friends, a visitor in the crowd who hears their own language, and Peter deciding whether to stand up. The flames are described as Luke describes them: like fire, on each person, hurting no one.
