May 7, 2023: The Day of Pentecost (Acts 2:1-8, 14-24, 37-39)

To engage the learners in a study of the Scripture text:

Distribute copies of the “Baptism in Scripture” exercise from the activity page, which you can download here. Have learners work in small groups to complete as indicated.

To encourage personal application:

Distribute copies of the “Power, Power!” activity from the activity page. Have learners complete the activity in pairs before discussing answers in whole-class discussion.

After calling time for the activity, distribute index cards and pens to each learner. Ask learners to write a prayer based on the following prompt:

Lord, help me be attentive to the influence of the Holy Spirit. Empower me through the Holy Spirit to follow Jesus boldly this week as I . . .

Encourage learners to place the cards in a location where they will notice the prayers throughout the week.
