Children’s Society

In August, I held my annual coffee morning in aid of the Children’s Society. Lots of people supported the event and enjoyed coffee, chat and delicious cakes.  Thanks to all who baked, made coffee, gave draw prizes or attended.

This coincided with the annual box opening — little plastic boxes have been filled with loose change by people in Bradninch and beyond.  I had the pleasure of counting many pounds worth of coins!  Thank you to everyone who has one of our boxes.

The final total sent to the Children’s Society was £703.00.  This fantastic amount will go to support the charity which does such important work with and for children, and campaigns for change to improve their lives.  Thank you all, once again.

New Priest in Charge for St Disen’s

The Bishop of Crediton, Rector of Cullompton and Parish representatives are delighted to announce that an offer of the three year post of Interim Pioneer Minister for Cullompton and Priest in Charge of Bradninch has been made to Revd Oliver Mears, who has accepted.

We hope that Revd Mears, who is currently an Associate Minister in Rugby, will be joining us in December.  We look forward to welcoming him and his family to Bradninch.
