All Saints Day responses. A really BIG THANK YOU to everyone who has responded so far to the All Saints Day letters. We have had 44 replies, including 3 households joining Planned Giving, 22 increases, 2 reductions & 13 of 1-off donations. Over 12 months this would amount to a net increase of £9,682 pledged, plus £4,260 of single gifts. This is a great start towards managing the £25,000 increase in Parish Share next year. If you haven't responded yet, please do - & keep those pledges coming in!
Thanks again, John Lord.

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.

Art space

If you fall into any of these categories, or know someone who does, please contact Tricia Newton at [email protected] or via the church office. A warm welcome awaits you!
