Pentecost, Year C

Gifts for service

Reading I: Acts 2:1–11 (descent of the Holy Spirit)
Reading II: 1 Corinthians 12:3–7, 12–13 (many gifts, one Spirit, and the analogy of the body)
Gospel: John 20:19–23 (appearance to the disciples)

Key Passage: Now there are varieties of gifts, but the same Spirit; and there are varieties of services, but the same Lord. (1 Corinthians 12:4–5)

Adult: What gift of service have you received from the Holy Spirit and how well are you using it right now?
Child: What gift do you hope to receive from the Holy Spirit? How could you use it to serve others?
