TRINITY SUNDAY June 7, 2020

Have you ever wondered about the Trinity?

Below is a good illustration that may help in understanding.

On the following pages, there is an explanation for children and a coloring sheet for everyone!

How to Teach Kids about the Trinity

with an Apple Object Lesson Grab an apple and share these five truths with your kids:

• When you pick an apple from a tree, you know it is an apple. It looks like an

apple. It has three parts: the seeds of the apple, the flesh of the apple, and

the apple peel or skin. When you cut an apple in half, you can see that each

of these three parts are different (at this point, you can cut the apple open

for your kids!). Like the apple, the three Persons of the one true God have

different purposes.

• The peel or skin is like God the Father because He protects us.

• The flesh is like God the Son because Jesus Christ took on human flesh.

• The seeds are like God the Holy Spirit because through His power, we

grow in faith.

• Each of the parts of an apple are different, but they are ALL apple.

So are the persons of God all different (Father, Son and Holy Spirit), yet they

are ALL God.

It’s a simple, no-prep Biblical lesson, but it’s really effective, especially when

you don’t have a lot of time to devote to a long lesson, but really want to help

your kids drive this faith lesson home into their hearts!
