Aim: The aim of this series is to introduce the Holy Spirit. To help the children understand that God is with them and in them.

Bible Passage: Genesis 1-2

Weekly Question: “How can the Holy Spirit help me?”

“The Holy Spirit makes our hearts alive.”

Kids often think of God as far away, so teaching about the Holy Spirit helps them understand that God is close, not distant. The key learning in this series is that the Holy spirit can help us in many ways. This week we are looking at the first one, Breath and Wind. We want the children to remember that God’s spirit gives us life just like he did for Adam and that we can be God’s friend just like Adam was too.

Our weekly question for this week (which will be the same throughout this series) is

“How can the Holy Spirit help me?”

And today we want the children to grasp the truth that “The Holy Spirit makes our hearts alive.”
