Explore the story of the early church as the disciples spread the message of the life, death, and resurrection of Jesus Christ. Learn how the disciples, transformed by the Holy Spirit, found the strength and courage to do the work that Jesus prepared for them. Discover how the Spirit of God interrupts our lives so that we can live as Easter people who enact Christ’s kingdom by our witness of justice and love.

Living as Easter People is a 7-week study for adults, using the Revised Common Lectionary passages from Year C beginning with Easter 2 and ending on Pentecost. This study can be used during Eastertide, or at any time as a seven-week study on the book of Acts.

Consider offering the Living as Easter People children’s study at the same time and encourage conversations between adults and children in your church and in the home.
