Read
Scripture: 2 Corinthians 13:11-13
Matthew 28:16-20
The name of our
congregation is “Trinity” and yet, it is probably one of the most difficult
concepts to wrap our brains around. We
might try to explain it like water (it comes in 3 forms: liquid, ice and steam)
or an apple (skin, meat, seeds) which show the 3 parts of each of those
items.
Yet, this still does not
get to the core (pun intended) of how to explain the Trinity. The Trinity is ultimately about God’s
relationship with God’s people. God
relates to us as the One in whose image we are created; as Jesus who shared
with us God’s love in flesh and blood; and as the Spirit who is with us now,
moving amidst our lives with grace.

Bless
Offer a blessing. Use “You are lovingly
made in the image of God,” or make up your own as a reminder of God’s love in
your life. Make the sign of the cross on
each other’s forehead as you do this. If
desired, use water to make the cross.
Bonus
Activity:
Make a list of the different relationships in
your life. Pray for a different person
every day and/or send each person a note (email, text, etc.) to let them know
that you are praying for them.
