Gospel: John 20: 19-23

Theme:
We have been given the breath of God - the gift of the Holy Spirit.

 

Question for Adults: Share about times when you felt the power of the Spirit, giving you the right words, giving you insight into a dilemma, or in other ways.
 
Question for Youth: On Pentecost, the apostles were able to speak in a language that everyone could understand. As a young person, you have your own way of communicating Jesus’ importance in your life. How will you make Jesus more known to others in your own way this week?

Question for Children: When have you heard your inner voice or conscience guiding you to do what is right?
