“I am the Good Shepherd; I know my own and my own know me”. John 10:14"
In this branch, our class will learn about the amazing ways Jesus continues to care for us after He returned to His Father. Before He left, Jesus sent us a special friend, the Holy Spirit, to look after us and help us live out His love. We will hear the simple story of Pentecost, when the Holy Spirit came to the disciples in a powerful way, and how the early Christian community (Acts 2:42-47) shared the Good News of Jesus with joy and love. We will also explore how the Holy Spirit is our friend, helping us to grow in faith and love for one another. The Holy Spirit is a gift to all believers, and we are called to live as a family and community, supporting and caring for each other. Our lessons will include learning about the special role of the parish church, where we gather with friends to pray, sing, and celebrate together, especially on Sundays. We will also reflect on how we are all part of God's big family, connected to one another, no matter where we come from or how different we may be. As part of the Church, we are called to live in solidarity, helping and supporting one another as brothers and sisters in Christ, especially those in need. We will see that just like Jesus, we are meant to love, help, and care for each other as part of God's family.
