A Pentecost Sidewalk "Chalk--Walk"
A church I served created "chalk walk messages" for Pentecost every year and the members really looked forward to it.
Students mark large SIDEWALK CHALK DRAWINGS of flames, Pentecost, Holy Spirit, and key words/phrase from Acts 2 --for the congregation to see and experience when they go outside after worship.
As part of the chalk artwork... Students can make a prayer labyrinth or PATH with "Pentecost Stations"for congregation to walk, stop and consider.(these 'stations' can be words/ideas for sharing the Good News written in chalk)
Older kids can create the basic designs and ask young children to "color it in".
At the end of the 'trail of Pentecost Chalk Walk stations' the congregation can walk past a gallery of "Pentecost Kids" self-portraits and names of all the artist.
Congregants can be given chalk and encouraged to add their pictures or phrases.
Take photos!
