Read John 3:1-17 with your family.

The Sunday after Pentecost every year is called Trinity Sunday. That is the day we stop to think about how we as Christians understand our relationship with God.

The early Greek Christians wanted to explain everything. The Hebrew Christians were happy with seeing God in social action and including everyone in God’s love, but the Greeks wanted to understand how God existed in the world and how God related to people.

They decided that there were three ways of seeing God: as the parent who created and loved everyone, as Jesus who lived as a person and taught everyone he met, as as the Holy Spirit who was the feeling of love and hope. This was still one God, just experienced in different ways.
