Secondary Schools Assemblies Resource Book
THROUGH THE YEAR
THE FIRE OF PENTECOST
By Charlotte Benstead
Suitable for Key Stage Three

Aim
To reflect on God’s gifts of forgiveness and love at Pentecost.

Preparation and materials
• It would be very useful (if health and safety will allow) to have a small, contained fire or, failing that, a candle with a strong flame.
• Bible reading: Acts 2.1–21.
• Suggested music: ‘Firestarter’ by The Prodigy; ‘Fire’ by The Crazy World of Arthur Brown.

Assembly
1. Begin by showing the audience your fire or candle. Ask them to consider how amazing an elemental force fire is. Comment that for many people, fire holds both fascination and fear.
2. Say that human beings have been gathering around fire ever since we learned to harness its power as cave-dwellers many, many millennia ago. Without the heat of fire on our bodies, its ability to cook our food, ward off predators and banish the darkness, we would have died out long since.
3. Of course, fire is not always our friend. Fire, out of control, destroys. House fires and forest fires, for example, bring tragedy to the lives of millions of people each year...
