Ideas for Celebrating Pentecost
Greetings! As Lent is still upon us and Easter awaits, we want to offer some resources and ideas from Building Faith to aid your planning for the Feast of Pentecost. Below you'll find prayers, printable materials, activities for church and home use, and other resources.

If you are developing a Pentecost resource, activity, or event in your community that may be fruitful for churches and groups in other contexts, consider writing about it for Building Faith! We enjoy working with both new and returning authors, and we welcome your article ideas for Pentecost, summer formation, fall programs, and more. You can contact our team at our Building Faith email here.

I wish you well in these remaining weeks of Lent!

Peace,
Jodi Belcher
Lead Editor of Building Faith
