Note to Families:
We pray that you will experience God’s loving Presence as you share this Family Catechesis lesson for Trinity Sunday together.
It is so important for our children to realize that our Almighty God in three persons, the Father, the Son, and the Holy Spirit were all present and actively took part in the creation of the heavens and the earth. They all decided together to make the first humans, Adam and Eve to be like them. God saw that everything they made was very good.
Genesis, the very first book in God’s Holy Bible, gives us very good news: that God’s original plan for us was very good and we were originally given everything we needed to have the perfect loving relationship with the living God: Father, Son, and Holy Spirit. That is what our Triune God still promises us if we believe and receive all that He offers us today We can learn how to love God and others as He created us to do.
We pray that you enjoy your time with God together.
