Shavuot Prayer Guide
What is Shavuot – and why does it matter?
Most people know Pentecost from the New Testament, but it actually began as a Jewish festival celebrated long before the book of Acts. Shavuot is a beautiful and deeply significant part of the biblical story, connecting Mount Sinai, the giving of the Torah, and the outpouring of the Holy Spirit.
We’ve created a free Shavuot Prayer Guide that explores these connections through Scripture, reflection, and guided prayer. Whether you’re curious about the Jewish roots of faith, wanting to understand the Bible more deeply, or looking for meaningful readings during this season, we’d love to invite you to download a copy.
