This is my story comes to St Disen’s

Two rows of faces

This Is My Story is a photographic exhibition sharing stories of faith from people across Devon. It features portraits by photographer Huw Ryden together with each subject’s faith story, in their own words. The aim of This Is My Story is to share living faith stories and encourage us to think more about our own faith and how it has shaped our lives.

This Is My Story from the Church of England in Devon is currently touring churches and schools across the county. It will be on display in St Disen’s Church until 7th October 2024.  More information and videos of some of the stories can be found on the Diocese of Exeter website. It is also on Instagram: @thisismystoryUK

Our congratulations to Sophie and Jon, and to Jenny and Hugh who were married in two beautiful services in St Disen’s Church recently. Congratulations also to Hana and Jo who were baptised recently in a wonderful open air service at Clyst Hydon swimming pool and to baby Noah who was baptised last Sunday. It was lovely to welcome him and all his family and friends to our church.

Back to school with Jesus

Fun, fresh and thought provoking.  Our All Age Service this Sunday, 10.30am, is going back to school with Jesus.  With prayer and worship for all ages and stages.  Light refreshments will be served in St Disen’s Hall beforehand, from 10.00-10.30am. 

The Good Shepherd

‘I am the good shepherd; I know my sheep and my sheep know me…I have other sheep that are not of this sheepfold.  I must bring them also.  They too will listen to my voice, and there shall be one flock and one shepherd’ (John 10.14,16).

A beautiful sunrise greeted those gathered together at the appropriately named Christ Cross for an Easter Sunrise service.  The service, which was organised by Bradninch and Silverton churches, attracted more than 100 people from the local area and further afield, and was followed by a lovely breakfast.  Our thanks to all the organisers.
