Pentecost Assembly

This is a plan for an assembly on Pentecost. There is an optional powerpoint on Pentecost story included. The plan is easy to follow and requires no resources, so is perfect for using at the last minute! I like leading assemblies that are interactive, engaging and relevant to the children’s lives. So this assembly involves a modern day scenario where the events of Pentecost might occur and allows the entire assembly hall to get involved by acting out the story and discussing the themes. There is also an example prayer/reflection to finish with.
