June 5th - Trinity Sunday
What or Who is the Trinity? The Trinity is God, Jesus and the Holy Spirit, they are each individual but also one being who lives in relationship with each other and we are invited into that relationship. How cool is that?!
Even us adults see the Trinity as a mystery and we don't always understand it. But that's ok we know that God, Jesus and the Holy Spirit all love us and guide us and that's what really matters!
We are going to do a craft today that helps us think about the three parts of the Trinity God (Father), Jesus (Son) and Holy Spirit. What do you think about or feel when you hear about these three parts? Think about this for a bit and then start this craft...
Holy Trinity Spinners
You will need:
- collage paper/ feathers etc or felt tips
- blue tack
- glass pebbles or a stone from your garden
- bottle tops
- card
- a circle split into three equal parts drawn or printed onto card
On each third of the circle use colours, shapes and symbols to draw or collage your thoughts/ feelings/ ideas about each person of the Trinity. Then go find your parent and tell them why you chose to put what you did on each section of the circle.
Turn the spinner over and stick the flat side of a glass pebble to the middle of the circle.
On the front of the spinner, blue tack a bottle top to the middle.
Twist the bottle top to spin the spinner and see how the three parts blend into one!
