What is Cherub Church you ask?

Cherub Church is St. Jude's Religious Education Preschool Program, offered during the 10:30 Mass in the early childhood area of the Parish Center basement. Preschoolers, ages 3 to 6, engage in interactive activities to reinforce the Bible point of the day. Through this program, preschoolers develop a sense of community and belonging to the parish of St. Jude.

Pentecost

Story - The Jesus Storybook Bible pg 326

Song – “Wind and Fire” (Tune: Frère Jacques)

Song – “Deep and Wide”

Game – “Wind and Fire Race”

  • Sometimes things aren't seen, but they are working to move things along anyway. Just like the Holy Spirit, the air around us is hard to see, but we see the evidence of its work through the things it moves.  
  • Give each child a straw and a piece of crepe paper. Have them use the straw to blow the crepe across the room and back.

Snack – Wind Twirler

  • Wind twirlers remind the children that the Holy Spirit is always moving, even when things appear to be still.  
  • Cut a spiral from a paper plate (older kids may be able to do this).  Have children decorate.  Then stretch it out and attach a string to the top.

Art – The Fire of Pentecost

  • One of the most important aspects of the Holy Spirit is that it first appeared above each Apostle as a tongue of fire. 
  • Create a fire craft by taking a piece of paper and lightly brushing school glue all over it. Tear small pieces of red and orange paper to stick to the paper.
