April 19, 2020 – Trinity’s Kid Church

Welcome to Trinity’s Kid Church!

We hope that you and your family are healthy and safe at home enjoying each other’s company and God’s presence. He is always with us as His Word promises.

Please find below three age-specific lessons that our Trinity kids (or your child/children) would have learned during class time on Sunday.  We encourage you to read through the appropriate lesson first and then actively help your child read and understand the lesson no matter their age. It is important to keep connected to God and to each other, especially at times like this and we hope that these lessons will help you in planning your own family worship time this week.

Peace and blessings from your Trinity Family!

Remind them of these truths:  Jesus loves me; Jesus sees me; Jesus wants to be my friend forever.
• Kids/Youth Discussion Ideas:

●  Who are the characters in this passage? ● What are some words or pictures that you remember while reading? Why do you think you remember that? ● What picture do you imagine in your mind when we read this story?

● What is your favorite part about what we read together? ● What do you think Jesus wants to tell you through this? ● What are some ways that you and I can live out what we learned together?
