Invite the young people to produce a video blog about the coming of the Holy Spirit in Acts. They all pretend to be someone in the story, e.g. Peter, another disciple, a member of the crowd. Record interviews with people about the events they witnessed on a mobile phone, and have fun watching it, before deleting.

Create stations for each of the five senses. Lay out on separate tables: incense to smell, a holding cross to feel, bread and red grape juice to taste, a song on a phone/iPod, e.g. ‘Who You Say I Am’ by Hillsong Worship (see Listen) and headphones to listen, a painting (see image below) to look at. Invite the young people to spend a few minutes at each station. Which one helped them to feel closer to God?

Burn some incense and play a reflective song, e.g. Chris Tomlin’s ‘Spirit Fall’ (see Listen). Encourage the young people to be still, listen and wait for the Holy Spirit. Alternatively, they could use play dough to mould and meditate with.

Divide the group into threes and invite the young people to share with each other what it is they lack confidence in. Encourage them to pray for each person in turn, asking that the Holy Spirit gives them the confidence they need.
