Pentecost/Shavuot/Feast of Weeks
Pentecost is observed in late spring, 50 days after the cutting of the wave sheaf in the middle of the Passover season. It is full of meaning for the Christian and is observed yearly both as a commemoration of the giving of the law/covenant at Mt. Sinai, and the coming of the Holy Spirit after Christ’s death and resurrection. This lesson offers a cloze activity with the related scriptures to help young people rehearse what they already know or search out answers that are new to them. Pentecost_youth cloze Pdf
A short reader’s theatre script to engage all participants (young and old) in a retelling of “Why this night is different from all other nights” It would be a great dinner activity for Passover (NTBMO) and highlights the key events that this Holy time memorializes.

The Exodus, God’s deliverance of his people from slavery and His dramatic destruction of the Egyptian nation and their gods through a series of ten plagues is the focus of this script. This could be presented as a play or read as a reader’s theatre for Passover (The Night to Be Much Observed).
A fanciful retelling of the Passover Exodus story from the point of view of 15 Israelites who are about to enter the Promised Land and conquer Jericho. Each reader reminisces about stories they heard or experienced as youth leaving Egypt forty years earlier. This script works well as reader’s theatre or could be acted out as a play.
