Pentecost Bible Questions Parents Ask

Call Him the Helper Jesus promised: God with us, inside us, giving us courage to obey and love. John 14:26 is a good verse to read together.
What craft goes with Pentecost?
Paper-flame crowns are the classic: cut red, orange and yellow flames, staple them to a headband strip, and read Acts 2:3 while the children wear them.
Where is Pentecost in the Bible?
Acts 2, with the promise given in Acts 1:4–8 and John 14–16.
