This week Trent Lewis spoke on Acts 2. He talked about Pentecost which was when the Holy Spirit came to Jesus' disciples. When the Holy Spirit came he came with a tongue of fire and people spoke in many different languages. Since people had gathered from all over the world, people were able to hear the gospel in their own language. As people saw these incredible miracles and signs, they came together to hear what was going on. Then Peter gave a presentation of the gospel. Three thousand people became Christians on that day. In our group we have a big event coming up called grad night. At grad night we probably won't have tongues of fire, but we will have exciting games, a concert, golf 'n' stuff, and all kinds of fun to draw people in. After people come to grad night we will have the opportunity to present the gospel to them. Trent also talked about how these new Christians came together and formed a very close community in which they shared all aspects of their lives together. They shared meals and even their possessions together. In our middle school group we need to have a good community as well. That means that when the new fifth graders join the middle school group we need to be welcoming to them. We need to show them that we want them to be a part of the group and help them to feel welcomed. We can all remember a time in which someone welcomed us, like Trent shared about when he talked about the guy who helped him with his locker in middle school. We should all try and be like that person and help the new sixth graders to feel welcomed into the group.-Jason
