Spark Bible Stories for Sunday, June 8 (Pentecost)

More about static electricity here.

Activity: The Holy Spirit made the disciples hair stand up (pg. 502). Do you wonder what that might feel like? Try this: take a balloon, rub it on your hair until your hair feels funny, and it will
stand up on its own. (Or you can try going down a long plastic slide with a tunnel next time you are at the playground.) The Holy Spirit is like static electricity!

You can review these stories in the Spark Bible* with your children any time. At the end of the story, there are some questions to think about; you can share your answers with your friends and teachers on Sunday or feel free to post your insights below.
