Thrive Faith Formation Tip - Research has shown that taking slow, deep breaths when we are stressed is good for our mental health. As you recognize Mental Health Awareness Month, try using breath prayers as a way to slow down and focus your mind on God. Choose a prayer from the options below, then breathe in and out, repeating the phrases as you breathe. As you breathe in silently, pray: “Not my will.” As you breathe out, pray: “Your will be done.” Breathe in: “I am not alone.” Breathe out: “You are here.” Breathe in: “You are the potter.” Breathe out: “I am the clay” Brought to you by Thrive: crcna.org/Thrive

Kids Corner: The Promised Gift: Pentecost - When Jesus was about to return to heaven to be with his Father, he reminded his disciples of the gift his Father had promised them. Did you know that the same gift is promised to you as well? God sends his Holy Spirit to everyone who believes in Jesus. It’s an old promise that is still good for you today!
