In this paper, we find a power series expansion of the invariant differential ${\it\omega}_{E}$ of an elliptic curve $E$ defined over $\mathbb{Q}$, where $E$ is described by certain families of Weierstrass equations. In addition, we derive several congruence relations satisfied by the trace of the Frobenius endomorphism of $E$.
