Have participants share examples of times when they have felt excited or enthusiastic over something that was happening in their family – for instance, a big family reunion or an outing to a special place. Explain that this can be called having "family spirit." Invite volunteers to tell how their family spirit showed itself, how they felt at the time, and what this experience of family spirit did for them personally. Help them recognize that true "spirit" is always life giving. Explain that the Holy Spirit works in us in similar ways. If time permits, you could extend the discussion to include "class spirit" or "team spirit."
