The Spirit isn\u2019t reserved only for so-called super Christians who have been walking with God for decades. The Holy Spirit is for everyone who believes! <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>There is no such thing as a junior-sized version of the Holy Spirit for junior\u0002sized followers of Jesus. The very same Spirit who raised Christ from the dead fills\u2014and is available to lead\u2014the kids in your ministry! <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>As you explore stories of the Holy Spirit\u2019s arrival and work within the early church, marvel with your kids at the truth that the Spirit dwells in them, helps them, and gives them strength and boldness.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed is-type-video is-provider-vimeo wp-block-embed-vimeo wp-embed-aspect-16-9 wp-has-aspect-ratio\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<iframe title=\"Power of the Spirit Series Overview Video\" src=\"https:\/\/player.vimeo.com\/video\/758088596?h=855f40c159&amp;dnt=1&amp;app_id=122963\" width=\"800\" height=\"450\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"autoplay; fullscreen; picture-in-picture\"><\/iframe>\n<\/div><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-pullquote\"><blockquote><p>There is no such thing as a junior-sized version of the Holy Spirit for junior\u0002sized followers of Jesus. <\/p><\/blockquote><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Series Invitation<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Life is challenging, isn\u2019t it? Soaring prices, a kid with a cold, and\u2014what\u2019s that? The washer and dryer just died?<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>No wonder you\u2019re sometimes exhausted. If only there was a power supply to plug into, encouragement to tap into when your own reserves run low \u2026<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>There is. And He\u2019s with you right now.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Jesus promises the Holy Spirit to all who believe in Him, including you and the kids you serve. In this series you\u2019ll explore together how the Holy Spirit stands ready to guide, strengthen, embolden, and draw you ever closer to God.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>I grew up hearing about Jesus and God the Father, but the Holy Spirit was seldom mentioned. The Spirit was like some distant great-uncle: now and then the name came up, but I knew little about him.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>If that\u2019s also your story, get ready to dive deeper. And if you and the Holy Spirit are well acquainted, prepare to encounter the Spirit anew as you introduce this Person of the Trinity\u2014God Himself\u2014to your kids.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In this pause before you launch the series, consider \u2026<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>How have you felt the Holy Spirit speak into your life?<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>What do you anticipate will happen for your kids during this series?<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>How will you pray for your kids throughout this series? <\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>Know we\u2019re praying for you as you serve\u2014and let the Spirit guide you.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>\u2014Mikal Keefer<\/strong>, Ministry Volunteer, Contributor to Wonder Ink<\/p>\n\n\n\t\t<div data-elementor-type=\"section\" data-elementor-id=\"6836\" class=\"elementor elementor-6836\" data-elementor-post-type=\"elementor_library\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<section class=\"elementor-section elementor-top-section elementor-element elementor-element-44db1a4 elementor-section-boxed elementor-section-height-default elementor-section-height-default\" data-id=\"44db1a4\" data-element_type=\"section\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-container elementor-column-gap-default\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-column elementor-col-100 elementor-top-column elementor-element elementor-element-3fd2177\" data-id=\"3fd2177\" data-element_type=\"column\">\n\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-wrap elementor-element-populated\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-44f2d06 elementor-widget__width-auto elementor-widget elementor-widget-button\" data-id=\"44f2d06\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"button.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-button-wrapper\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<a class=\"elementor-button elementor-button-link elementor-size-xl\" href=\"https:\/\/app.wonderink.org\/?page=RegisterChurch&#038;_gl=1*1vf7quv*_gcl_au*MTg0ODQ5OTU5Ny4xNjg5Njk5NjI3*_ga*ODkwNTM3NjE0LjE2ODk2OTk2Mjg.*_ga_D2HKCMMJ9V*MTY5Njk2NTE2My41Ni4xLjE2OTY5NjUxODMuMC4wLjA.\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<span class=\"elementor-button-content-wrapper\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<span class=\"elementor-button-text\">Try for Free<\/span>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/span>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/a>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-9dfdb8d elementor-widget__width-auto elementor-widget elementor-widget-image\" data-id=\"9dfdb8d\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"image.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<a href=\"https:\/\/app.wonderink.org\/?page=RegisterChurch&#038;_gl=1*1vf7quv*_gcl_au*MTg0ODQ5OTU5Ny4xNjg5Njk5NjI3*_ga*ODkwNTM3NjE0LjE2ODk2OTk2Mjg.*_ga_D2HKCMMJ9V*MTY5Njk2NTE2My41Ni4xLjE2OTY5NjUxODMuMC4wLjA.\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<img data-opt-id=1573953086  data-opt-src=\"https:\/\/mlzai04amy7e.i.optimole.com\/w:auto\/h:auto\/q:80\/f:best\/https:\/\/wonderink.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/Wonder-Ink-logo.png\"   decoding=\"async\" width=\"2048\" height=\"311\" src=\"data:image/svg+xml,%3Csvg%20viewBox%3D%220%200%20100%%20100%%22%20width%3D%22100%%22%20height%3D%22100%%22%20xmlns%3D%22http%3A%2F%2Fwww.w3.org%2F2000%2Fsvg%22%3E%3Crect%20width%3D%22100%%22%20height%3D%22100%%22%20fill%3D%22transparent%22%2F%3E%3C%2Fsvg%3E\" class=\"attachment-large size-large wp-image-6197\" alt=\"\" \/>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/a>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-0955910 elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"0955910\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<p style=\"text-align: center; font-size: small;\">Wonder Ink\u2019s 3-year, 52-week children\u2019s ministry curriculum offers kids space to fully find their place in God\u2019s Big Story.
