Acts Ch. 2

We've been reading Acts chapter 2 over and over this week. We want to be able to discuss all of Acts chapter 2, but we think it would take three weeks or more. We've broken down chapter 2 into two parts kids can understand. First we will read verses 1-4 and then verses 37-47. We hope we have time for it all. 1-4 discusses the coming of the Holy Spirit and 37-47 reveals how to receive the Holy Spirit as well as how the church started to grow. There are other important verses in Acts, but these we feel are the most relevant to children.

1. What did it look/feel like when the Holy Spirit first came?
2. How can you receive the Holy Spirit?
3. What does your church do every week?
4. What did this church do everyday?
5. How can we look like this church?
6. What would Fresno look like if ever church in the valley was an Acts chapter 2 church?
7. How can we be more like Acts 1-1:8 kids?

The new 6th grade leaders met for the first time this year on Monday. Our new leaders are Noah, Jake, Alex, Trent, Tanner, Elijah, Emily, Lauren, and Kelsey. These kids are looking forward to putting in time and effort to make FCA the best this year. They will start reading scripture, analyzing scripture, discussing scripture, coming up with questions for FCA, Reading the passages out loud at FCA, leading children in prayer, planning FCA missions, and inviting and witnessing to other children at Riverview. I'm looking forward to what God will accomplish in them.
