Pew Sheet – 14th December 2025

Advent Creed

We believe in God the Father,

creator of heaven and earth.

The one who is full of patience,

who is not afraid of silence,

who does not need to fill each moment

with activity and noise.

The one who is beyond bluster and flurry,

and who does not jostle for attention.

We believe in God the Son,

Saviour of creation,

who slipped into Bethlehem one night, mostly unnoticed,

who lived thirty years without headlines or hurry,

who frequently took time alone with his patient Father,

who waited for the right time to become

the suffering servant,

who stood quietly before the noise of his accusers,

whose silence overpowered their words,

who died, then rose again on a quiet Sunday morning.

We believe in God the Holy Spirit,

who strengthens, empowers, renews and refreshes,

sometimes arriving with obvious power,

sometimes with the quiet breath of a whisper.

We believe in one God

who patiently waits for us,

and who longs for us to do the same.
