Pneumatology:
For the kids:
Lesson: There are three persons of God; God the Father, God the Son, and the third is who we will be talking about today. This is God the Holy Spirit! Do you ever feel like God is telling you something? Something like “You should invite your friend to church this week.” Or “You should go talk to that kid over there, they are having a hard day and need a friend.” When you hear or feel that, that is the Holy Spirit guiding you.

If you hear nothing that does not mean God isn 't talking to you, it means that God is telling you to wait. Remember to practice listening while doing this exercise.

Be sure that you do not give this impression to the kids. Do this by avoiding calling the Spirit “it” and by emphasizing his power. The Holy Spirit is the fulfillment of the promise Jesus made as he ascended into heaven, that he would send the Spirit to fill us and be in us
