Trinity Sunday is the first Sunday in the greater length of Ordinary Time (more on this season of the church year next week).
This site here has a bit of the history of Trinity Sunday (both from the Bible and general church history). It discusses symbols to represent the Holy Spirit. Unlike many Church feasts and fasts, which celebrate a person or an event, this feast day is to celebrate the doctrine of the Trinity.
This site here has a lectionary (prayers and Scripture readings) for Trinity Sunday. This site here has more lectionary and hymn ideas. This site here has a worship leaflet, as well as suggestions for decorations and foods.
Trinity Sunday is a feast day to remember and discuss the mystery of the Trinity. This site here has a lot of triple food ideas, as well as food that can be cut into triangles.
Suggested Activities:
Plan: Look through the sites referenced above for ideas that would work for your family and church.
Read: Find Scripture passages that talk about the Father, the Son, and the Holy Spirit/Ghost.
Decorate: Green is the color of Ordinary Time, so try to wear green clothes, set out green decorations, and eat green foods.
Feast: This is a feast day, so be sure to include special foods in your Sunday meals. Bonus points for including naturally green foods. Alternatively, set out tri-color foods and cut your food into triangles when possible.
Contemplate: Reflect on the Trinity. Consider the attributes of God the Father, God the Son, and God the Holy Spirit.
