Hi there!
The St Mark's website is a living, breathing part of our church and like you it grows and changes very quickly. Things you see today might not be here next time you look but just like you can see how you were some time back by looking at your family photo album (or you mum's Facebook page!) you can find a lot of the older Kid's Korner stuff in the Archive .
Entries for previous competitions are now on the new Competitions Page.
This front page will hold the most recent competition(s) and any stuff you send me.
Now that we are beyond Easter you'll want to see the Easter Competition prizewinners. Because there were prizes for both Adults and Kids the results are in the Photograph Album along with our other Easter pictures and in a new style here .
Our Summer 2012 Competition will be in the Mesenger but as always it is previewed here. This time it's a Wordsearch with a twist! Since Easter is over and all the chocolate eggs have been eaten this is a reminder of Easter as all the words relate to Easter. Once you have found all the answers all the letters that are left spell out a Bible Verse so all you have to do is submit the verse. You can e-mail it to me here , or to the Messenger editor here or hand it in to Sunday School before the Promotion Service - when the prize will be awarded!
To reach me by e-mail with anything you want to send for Kid's Korner (here or in the St Mark's Messenger) just click here .

You can download the search grid and the words by clicking on the pdf link below. This will alow you to print out the whole page on a single sheet of paper. Just remember I don't need to see the whole grid. All I need is the Bible Verse that is left in all the letters left over (there are quite a few).

Best of luck and remember the Closing Date is the Sunday School Promotion Service. |
As a website bonus, there's also a colouring competition with the same closing date so if you are a bit young for the wordsearch I'm sure you'll manage this picture for Pentecost.
Pentecost came 50 days after Easter Sunday, when Jesus rose from the dead. Jesus had already gone back to Heaven so the disciples and new believers of Jesus were waiting to receive the Holy Spirit because that's what Jesus told them would happen. Plus, since Jesus wasn't with them any more the Holy Spirit would help bring them closer to God.
So, the Holy Spirit is super helpful to us! He becomes a part of us when we become a Christian and understand that Jesus died and rose for us. When we're ready to try to live a life pleasing to God the Holy Spirit becomes part of us so we have a part of God with us all the time. The day of Pentecost was a bit different though. People had already become Christians but the Holy Spirit wasn't a part of them yet. This would be the first time everyone who was a Christian would receive the Holy Spirit.
The disciples and other Christians had come together to thank God and suddenly a sound like the blowing of a strong wind came from heaven and filled the whole house where they were sitting. Next they saw tongues of fire that separated and came to rest on each of them. When the tongues of fire came they were filled with the Holy Spirit and began speaking in different languages.
