Pentecost Intergenerational Event from Building Faith

Together, sing “Spirit of the Living God,” (UMH 393) a few times to help make a connection. These motions may be helpful:
Spirit of the living God Stand and reach up with both hands
Fall afresh on me Bring hands down onto head and then shoulders
(repeat first two lines)
Melt me Hands in front as if moving in a puddle
Mold me Lift hands, as if molding a body in clay
Fill me Open arms above head
Use me Reach out hands in service
(repeat first two lines)
