Last Sunday, we celebrated Pentecost—a special day when something amazing happened to Jesus’ friends.

After Jesus had gone back to heaven, the disciples were all together in one place. They were probably wondering what to do next. Suddenly, there was a sound like a rushing wind, and something like flames appeared above their heads—not hot or scary, but bright and full of power. They were filled with the Holy Spirit—God’s presence with them!

Then something even more incredible happened: they started speaking in different languages. People from all over the world heard them speaking in their native tongues, and they were amazed. “What is going on?” they asked. Peter stood up and explained that this was the power Jesus had promised. The Holy Spirit had come to help them share God’s love with the whole world.

And that’s exactly what they did.

🕊️ What We Learned

✔ The Holy Spirit is a gift from God that gives us strength and courage.
✔ God wants us to share His love with everyone, no matter where they’re from.
✔ Pentecost is like the birthday of the Church, when everything began to grow.

We missed many of our kids last Sunday—we know some of you are off on family adventures now that school’s out! Whether near or far, know that we are always thinking of you and cheering you on as you grow in faith. We hope to see you soon for our next lesson!

Blessings and joy from your Sunday School family.
