Pentecost: Youth Study

1 Comment, Youth, by CGP.

 

Pentecost/Shavuot/Feast of Weeks
Pentecost is observed in late spring, 50 days after the cutting of the wave sheaf in the middle of the Passover season. It is full of meaning for the Christian and is observed yearly both as a commemoration of the giving of the law/covenant at Mt. Sinai, and the coming of the Holy Spirit after Christ’s death and resurrection. This lesson offers a cloze activity with the related scriptures to help young people rehearse what they already know or search out answers that are new to them.

Why is this?
The news media in Canada over the last few days has been covering the story of the five-day suspension from a Nova Scotia high school of a 19-year-old senior, William Swinimer. His offense was wearing a T-shirt bearing the slogan “Life is wasted without Jesus.”

    By a weird twist of irony, Canada’s 1982 Charter of Rights and Freedoms is now being interpreted by the Ontario Court of Appeal some 30 years after its immaculate conception by Pierre Trudeau as enshrining the inalienable human right of a certain sort of business people, who carry whips and dress in black leather…

    How should you save the Earth?

    On Earth Day this past Sunday, I decided to do something good for the environment—-and for my family and myself.
