Advent and Christmas 2023

The Holy Season of Advent points us forward – forward to the coming of Christ. Not only do we think about the coming of Jesus at Christmas; we also remember that Jesus ‘will come again in glory to judge the living and the dead, and his kingdom will have no end.’ (NIcene Creed).

Everything we do – every activity, act of worship, singing in the streets and in church, is designed for one reason: to glorify God and bring us closer to him. All of these events are open to everyone, and we hope to offer you an warm welcome.

Who are we?

We are a community of Christians whose life centres on the life, teachings, death and resurrection of Jesus Christ. We are friendly, welcoming and try not to take ourselves too seriously. We gather together every Sunday morning at 9.30 am to celebrate, to pray, to reflect upon our lives and on what God might be doing with them.

The Church of the Most Holy Trinity serves the Parish of Ettingshall which lies to the south of the city of Wolverhampton. The church building was consecrated in 1961 and along with our Parish Hall provides a flexible, modern building in which both worship and a variety of community projects are able to work side-by-side to serve God and his people amongst whom we live and work.

Holy Trinity is a church in the Anglo-Catholic tradition, proclaiming Jesus Christ through Word and Sacrament. We are part of the Diocese of Lichfield, under the Episcopal care of the Bishop of Oswestry. At the heart of our lives together is the regular celebration of the Mass, most particularly on Sunday mornings (0930). We do our best to offer to God the very best worship we can, and as we are fed by the Word of God and his Sacraments we are sent out to live transformed lives in the service of the local community and the world beyond.

The Sacrament of Reconciliation (Confession) is available to all by arrangement with the parish priest.

Arrangements for Baptisms, Weddings and for the reading of Banns of Marriage can be made through this website – please use the ‘Enquiry’ form.

Trinity Sunday 23 – our Feast of Title

Trinity Sunday was incredibly special! First of all, we were very fortunate to have as our visiting preacher Fr AKM Adam, Tutor in New Testament at Regent’s Park College, Oxford, and a great friend of Holy Trinity. The text of his wonderful sermon can be seen below.

Secondly, we were delighted to welcome Leo and Tilly into the life of the church through the sacrament of Holy Baptism. It was a wonderful occasion for two very special people! We continue to pray for them as they walk with Jesus.

Welcome to the Website for The Church of the Most Holy Trinity, Ettingshall.

We hope you find what you are looking for as you visit.

Morning and Evening Prayer are celebrated, and streamed, every weekday at 8.30 am and 5pm. This can be accessed via our Parish Facebook page. https://www.facebook.com/MHTEttingshall/
