More on the Holy Spirit

This past Sunday, our K-4th graders learned that the Holy Spirit teaches us all things and reminds us of everything Jesus has said! We had a great time of learning, sharing, and discussing.

Our verse for the morning was John 14:26-

But the Advocate,​ the Holy Spirit, whom the Father will send in my name,​ will teach you all things and will remind you of everything I have said to you.​




And so we made these hands with the verse written on them, and then tied a string around the index finger, just like people do sometimes when they need to remember something. It was super fun. And during our review game, the kids did a great job of recognizing the real verse from the versions where I switched around the words in crazy combinations!

God Made the Animals!

It was a fun time. They heard several stories about creation and finished by making clothespin animal magnets!

The Holy Spirit is Always With Me

This past week, the Elementary aged kids continued to learn about the Holy Spirit. We looked some more at Jesus' dialogue with his disciples in John 14. He tells them

• I'm Going away
• I'm leaving you to do my work
• You can't do it alone, so I'll send my Spirit.

We talked about how the Spirit's Presence means that Jesus is always with us, even though we can't see him. He helps us, he makes us like him, he teaches us to love and live like Jesus.

Picking up on the invisibility theme, we did a pretty cool craft. I remembered being in 2nd grade and drawing on white paper with white crayon - making an invisible picture. We then painted over the page with black watercolor, which made our masterpieces show up! We did this together as a class. I wrote secret messages about the Holy Spirit in white crayon on their white pages that showed up when they painted over them! It was a pretty cool illustration. The note was there all the time, even though we couldn't always see it.


I think the Holy Spirit is the best invisible friend ever.

Preschool Stars

Our lovely preschoolers learned a little bit about creation Sunday. We focused in on the fact that "God Made the Stars!"

They made some pretty adorable little jars full of water and glittery stars to shake. I wished I was a preschooler.

Join us this Sunday for more creation fun!

Talk to your little ones this week and see what else you can think of that God has made!
This would be a great time to read the creation story together - especially out of a preschoolers Bible.
