We were pleased to welcome Cory together with his family and friends to St Disens on 7th May when he was baptised by Revd Keith Gale.

Bradninch folk were busy during February knitting hundreds of teddy bears for Bradninch Support for Refugees.  The teddy bears along with all the other goods and items donated will go to RAFT (Refugee Aid From Taunton) and thence direct to refugees in Syria, Greece and other countries.  The teddies will be put into the pockets of children’s clothes.   More collections of items for refugees will be held in St Disen’s Hall in April.

Congratulations to mum Cindy and son Arthur who were both baptised in St Disen’s Church during our morning service on Sunday 19th February.

Brothers, Oscar and Noah were baptised by Revd Christopher Rowley during our communion service on Sunday 15th January.  It was a lovely occasion and we were pleased to welcome the two boys and all their family and friends to St Disens.

Congratulations to Justine and Christopher who celebrated 21 years of marriage by coming together with family and friends at St Disen’s Church on 10th December to renew their marriage vows.

There is a lovely article on Marion Brown and the Bradninch Festival Choir in December’s issue of The Countryman.  Marion and the choir will be performing in St Disen’s Church at the Christmas Concert on Saturday 17th December at 6.00pm.
