The Holy Spirit Is Our Helper

Host

Welcome to the Train Station, Jr. Conductors! I’m so glad that you are here.

Co-Host

Hey, Jr. Conductors. Oh my, I can’t find it anywhere.

Host

What are you looking for?

Co-Host

I’m looking for my stuffed animal, Charlie. I think he might be lost (Pause) and a little scared. I have to keep looking for him.

Host

We can help you. Jr. Conductors, can you use your eyes to search for our friend’s stuffed animal? When you see it, point to it.

Co-Host

There he is. How did you climb up there, Charlie? Thanks for your help!

Host

We all need helpers, and today we’re going to learn about a very special Helper. If you’re ready to learn about our Helper, say, “Choo-choo!”

Host

I wonder who the birthday party is for today. Who do you think it is for?

Co-Host

I’m not sure, but I can’t wait to find out. I’m glad Farmer Faith decided to help Conductor Carl.

Host

She will be a great helper. That reminds me of our Helper. We learned about Him in our Big Point. Let’s practice it again,

Host

The Holy Spirit Is Our Helper!

Co-Host

The Holy Spirit? Who is He?

Host

The Holy Spirit is God. He came to help us after Jesus left and went back to Heaven. The best news is that He can help everyone at the same time.

Co-Host

Really? Where is He? I don’t see Him. Jr. Conductors, make binoculars around your eyes and look for the Holy Spirit.

Host

You can’t see the Holy Spirit, but you can see the things that the Holy Spirit does. Let me show you what I mean. Have you ever used a hair dryer before to dry your hair?

Co-Host

I use one to dry off my doggie after a bath. Let’s pretend to dry our hair with a blow dryer.

Host

Watch what happens when I turn it on. Can you see the air blowing?

Co-Host

Nope. I can’t see air.

Host

Watch what happens when I point the dryer at (Co-Host)’s hair. (Blows the hair) Look at this ping pong ball when I place it over the dryer. (Ping pong ball floats in air)

Co-Host

We can’t see the air itself, but we can see what the air does. That’s like the Holy Spirit, right?

Host

Yep, we can’t see the Holy Spirit, but we can see Him at work, helping us. The Holy Spirit helps us follow Jesus and make wise choices. He does lots of good things. Let’s see how things are going with the birthday party.

Host

I can’t believe that the birthday party is for the Church! They’re celebrating that the Holy Spirit came to help us. Let’s say the Big Point again,

Host

The Holy Spirit Is Our Helper!

Co-Host

Conductor Carl shared a verse from the Bible.

Co-Host

John 14:26 (NIrV) says, “The Father will send the Friend in My name to help you. The Friend is the Holy Spirit.”

Host

The Holy Spirit is our friend. Let’s give a friendly wave to someone nearby.

Co-Host

The Holy Spirit is a gift from our Heavenly Father. Do you like getting gifts on your birthday? (Show the birthday present) Me, too! What is your favorite gift you have ever received?

Host

What do we sing when our family and friends are ready to give us presents? (Pause) Right, “Happy Birthday!” Let’s sing that together.

Host

The Holy Spirit is even better than a birthday present. Let’s look at some of the help the Holy Spirit gives us.

Co-Host

The Holy Spirit is a good gift. I’d think we would all want His help. The Holy Spirit helps us follow Jesus, too.

Host

I’m glad that everyone who is Jesus’ friend has the Holy Spirit’s help. Let’s stand and sing a song.

When someone gives you a gift, what do you say? You say, “Thank you!” Let’s bow our heads and close our eyes. The Holy Spirit is a gift for all of us. Let’s quietly tell God, “Thank You” for that gift. (Pause) Now I’ll pray, too. Dear God, thank You for sending the Holy Spirit to help us. We are glad that He is with us wherever we go. Amen.

Host

The party looked like so much fun. I’m glad that Farmer Faith was able to help. Let’s practice our Big Point,

Host

The Holy Spirit Is Our Helper!

Co-Host

When we have the Holy Spirit, we have God’s help everywhere we go. Farmer Faith learned that Bible truth. It sounds like there are a lot of things the Holy Spirit does for us.

Host

The Holy Spirit also helped Jesus’ first followers share the good news about Jesus.

Host

You can tell your family about the day of Pentecost when you do this week’s Big Do!

Co-Host

Find someone that you can help, just like the Holy Spirit helps us. Everyone in your family can help someone. Let’s think of some ways that we can help others.

Host

The Holy Spirit is our helper, which includes giving us power to do good things for others. He helps us love and follow Jesus.

Co-Host

Because we don’t just believe in Jesus, we do what Jesus says. The Holy Spirit helps us do that.

Host

Let’s say our Big Point once more,

Host
