Trinity Sunday 2025 (Online Holy Communion)

for 5 days, 14 hours, 59 mins

The Feast of the Most Holy Trinity celebrates the Christian doctrine of the Trinity, the three Persons of God: the Father, the Son, and the Holy Spirit. As is traditional our service today also include the Athanasian Creed, which has been in use since the sixth century, and is a statement of Christian belief focused on the Trinitarian doctrine and Christology.

Whilst our regular church services continue as normal, we recognise that for some due to illness or infirmity attendance in person is not always possible, therefore you are warmly invited to join in with our Rector, The Revd Mark Woodrow, and our Curate, The Revd Dr Karen Smith from your own home, as they celebrates Holy Communion from the Vicarage.

The readings for today are Romans 5:1-5, and John 16:12-15.

The hymns for today are, How shall I sing that majesty, and, Holy, Holy, Holy! Lord God Almighty!.

A service booklet to accompany this service is also available to download below or alternatively please email [email protected] for a copy.
