There is always more for us to learn and discover who God is, the Holy Spirit helps us to discover new and wonderful truths. On Trinity Sunday we celebrate God as Father, Son and Holy Spirit. The term ‘Trinity’ is used as a way of describing God the Father, God the Son and God the Holy Spirit. The word ‘Trinity’ means 3 in 1. The bible talks about God the father, the Holy Spirit and in the New Testament we find out about Jesus – God’s son.
Maybe these videos can help you explore what The Trinity is better.
Some questions to think about together
- Can you think of words to describe what God the Father, Son and Holy Spirit is like?
- What can you think of that comes in 3’s?
- I wonder is there a part of God you know better than the rest – Father Son Holy Spirit
