Pentecost: Life Together

The Holy Spirit does extraordinary work in Ordinary Time (another name for the season of Pentecost)! The Spirit helps us to grow, forms us into community that reflects God’s love, and sends us out into the world to demonstrate that love to everyone we meet. 

This summer, let the Spirit and our Tiny Try-It-Out Summer Fun Bingo Card guide you into Life Together: celebrating, sharing, living, doing, and _______ (you fill in the blank)!

What were your high and low points today? If you did a Bingo Card activity, talk about what you did and what you enjoyed about it!

Read 

John 14:26. “But the Advocate, the Holy Spirit, whom the Father will send in my name, will teach you everything and remind you of all that I have said to you.”

Reflect

What reminded you of Jesus as you did the activity? What are you learning about Life Together in community? How does it feel to share God’s love? 

Pray

Dear God, thank you for giving us opportunities this summer to explore your world; to care for friends, family, and neighbors; and to learn about you! Amen. 

Bless
