Homework for half term:

The Pentecost story continues in the Church today.  Each year, Christians remember and celebrate the coming of the Holy Spirit on the first Pentecost day, which marks the beginning of the Church.  Jesus Christ now lives in and acts through the Church.

The changing and transforming power of the Spirit is at work in God’s family, who ask for the gifts of the Spirit.  They pray that they will be changed and transformed by the energy and power it gives them so that they may bring the fruits which are peace, joy, love and forgiveness to others as witnesses of the love of God.

Task: Choose and research a Saint and show how their lives were transformed by the power of the Spirit.  Their life could be shown using the Traidcraft style El Salvador crosses (See example below) or through a fact file.
