Grade 3, Unit 3: We Believe the Holy Spirit Helps Us to Work Together
In this unit, students will delve into the significance of Pentecost, the day when the Holy Spirit descended upon the Apostles. This momentous event marks the establishment of the Church and the birth of Christianity, setting the foundation for the Church’s theology and mission, including the doctrine of the Holy Trinity—Father, Son, and Holy Spirit—and the call to make disciples of all nations. Students will learn how the Holy Spirit empowers us to live for Christ and to be His witnesses in the world.
Through the exploration of biblical examples, students will see how the Holy Spirit granted the early Christians and Saints the courage and strength to share the good news, despite facing numerous challenges. This unit emphasizes that the Holy Spirit provides us with the courage to live according to God's ways, helping us to transform and become better people, like Jesus. Students will reflect on how these principles apply to their own lives, understanding that choosing God's way often requires bravery and dedication.
The ultimate goal of this unit is to develop the concept of living a life guided by the Holy Spirit, recognizing that following God's path may sometimes require significant courage. Through these teachings, students will appreciate the transformative power of the Holy Spirit and the importance of living a Christ-centered life, marked by love, service, and steadfast faith.
