Hello children and parents! While we cannot gather, our thoughts and prayers are with you. Each week we'll send fun ideas for living & learning faith at home. God bless you!
1) Sunday School Lesson - Pentecost
A Children's Homily
Fr. Matthew talks about children of many colors to our youngest precious children of God.
2) Video: A Further Explanation
The Bible Project explains the Holy Spirit
3) Activity: Listen
An awesome way to learn about what your child thinks!
Use this idea to discuss the video lesson and have some fun!

  • You'll need: your ears, a few key phrases, and self-restraint!

  • Watch one or both videos above with your child.

  • Then simply ask: What do you think about that?

  • If you need another question to get them going, ask: How do you feel about it?

  • Let your child answer. Don't interrupt. Really listen until they finish talking. Then thank them for sharing their ideas and thoughts with you! Remember, you want to know their thoughts. This isn't a test, no correction is needed, just listen.

  • Tip: You may need to get on your child's level, turn off distractions, occasionally nod your head, make affirmative sounds, and repeat back what your child has said to let them know you are listening.

  • People had to stop and listen in order to hear the good news of Jesus from the disciples. Let's teach our children how to hear the good news by modeling good listening practices ourselves. Who knows, you might actually learn something!
