A little update about Tea & Toast. The group will not be running during September, we hope to restart later in the year.

Thank you to everyone who has supported the group, helped out, and joined us over the past year. We’ve loved welcoming families and sharing this special time together, and we’ll keep you updated with any news about when the group will return..

🙏 Where are you being called to serve?

On Sunday, Revd Steve spoke about serving and reminded us that as followers of Jesus, we are called not simply to receive, but to serve and to be a blessing to others.

📖 “For even the Son of Man came not to be served but to serve, and to give his life as a ransom for many.” Mark 10:45 (ESV)

Jesus turns our usual way of thinking upside down. If we are called to follow Him, what might it look like for us to serve others today?

Where are you feeling called to be? Who might God be calling you to serve?

Yesterday over 1,500 members gathered at St Paul's Cathedral to celebrate 150 years of Mothers' Union, giving thanks for a movement that has transformed lives through faith, compassion and service across the world. 💙

From humble beginnings in 1876 to a global community of millions, this milestone is a testament to the dedication of generations of members who have strengthened families, empowered communities and shared God's love in action.

As we celebrate our past, we also look ahead with renewed purpose, continuing to light the way for generations to come. Here's to the next 150 years of faith in action!
