For Maths fans, 2025 is a square. 45² = 45 x 45 = 2025 Also, 9² x 5² = 2025 40² + 20² + 5² = 2025 My favourite? 1³+2³+3³+4³+5³+6³+7³+8³+9³ = 2025 #Mathematics #teaching #education

At the Carol service my youngest responded to “he has filled the hungry with good things and sent the rich away empty” with a whispered “yesssssss!” I’d like to apply for this to be added to the official liturgy for the season
