We Believe
2025 marks the 1700th anniversary of the Council of Nicea from which we have the Nicene Creed we recite most Sunday mornings. To celebrate the anniversary, the Church of England has produced a series of 24 daily reflections which explain and explore its meaning. They are available by searching Church of England Everyday Faith, where you can download the app – or scan the QR code on our poster.

Thank you to those people who have volunteered to bake cakes for the Mustard Seed café. There is still opportunity to volunteer!
