Trinity Sunday 2024 (Online Holy Communion)

for 5 days, 14 hours, 45 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 celebrate Holy Communion from the Vicarage.

The readings for today are 2 Corinthians 13:11-13, and Matthew 28:16-20.

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. Alternatively please email [email protected] to receive a copy automatically each week.

Wixoe, St Leonard

St Leonard is the patron Saint of prisoners, and only a couple of Suffolk churches are dedicated to him. Despite the entirely 19th century windows, the church is clearly of Norman origins and the walls slope significantly towards each other as they approach the east. Perhaps there was once an apse. The bell-turret is a tribute to the proximity of Essex, and inside the south porch the doorway confirms your theory about the Normans.

The Victorians undertook a major restoration and the overwhelming feeling inside is of 1880s gloom. This isn't as dull as it sounds, for the church is neat and well-kept, and provides a document of, and testimony to, parish life over the last couple of centuries. The only medieval survival is the font, but there are a couple of nice 18th century memorials, including one with a splendid skull.
