A most successful coffee morning was held on 2nd August to coincide with the annual opening of the collection boxes. A grand total of £911.50 has been raised this year. A big thank you to everyone – all that loose change adds up!
Thank you to all who supported our recent coffee mornings in aid of our organ fund and the Childrens Society which between them raised some £400. But coffee mornings aren’t all about making money. They’re about meeting and making friends over a cup of coffee (or tea). So why not come and join us at our next Coffee Morning on Wednesday 22nd August at 10.00am in the Church Hall.
Congratulations to Ruth and David who were married in St Disen’s Church on 7th July. A lovely occasion on a beautiful day.

The Commonwealth War Graves Commission has put up a sign at the entrance to St Disen’s Churchyard as part of its First World War centenary project to increase awareness of war graves throughout the United Kingdom. There are 8 war graves in St Disen’s Churchyard and another at the Baptist Church.
Although there are 8 war graves in the churchyard, there are only 7 grave sites as brothers, Private S. Elliot and Sapper V. Elliot are commemorated together.
Family and friends came together on a beautiful May Bank Holiday Sunday to celebrate the baptisms of Millie and her baby sister Meadow. The service included ‘Morning has Broken’ especially chosen by Millie and Meadow’s parents and a song, with plenty of actions, about how wide, high and deep God’s love is for us.

St Disen’s Church looked its best for the day too, set against a brilliant blue sky and blossom on the trees.
A lovely church on a lovely day
We were pleased to welcome Jacob and Marcus to St Disens for their baptisms on Sunday 8th April, together with all their families and friends.
Our coffee morning last Saturday raised an amazing £477.00. A big thank you to all who supported and helped in any way. The morning was in aid of our Organ Restoration Fund and thanks to you, we are now well on the way to raising enough money to pay for the repairs to the organ, so that it can once more sound as it did when it was first built in the 19th century.
