Our curate, Hazel Britton together with four other ordinands were ordained as priests by the Bishop of Crediton at St Michael’s Church, Teignmouth on Saturday.  And today, we were joined by Hazel’s family and our friends from the Bradninch Baptist Church for a special celebratory service of Morning Praise, followed by a lovely bring and share lunch.  Congratulations to all.  As Hazel would say, ‘Rock On!’

There was plenty to see and do and eat at the Bradninch Town Fair on Saturday with cake and craft stalls, a pop-up creperie, a chance to meet Issachar the donkey and also watch a performance by The Red Barrows.

Stained Glass Summer

Like many parish churches, St Disen’s has some beautiful stained glass.  It may be all 19th century but it has some interesting stories to tell.  So we’re taking part in the Church of England’s Stained Glass Summer to tell these stories which can now be found on our new web page, about the stained glass.  And, if you’re in the area why not come and take a look around the church.  You’ll find much to see.

Children’s Society Coffee Morning

PS The coffee morning was amazing and raised over £300 and there is still more to come through donations and collection boxes.  Thank you.

There will be a coffee morning in aid of The Children’s Society, tomorrow morning, 17th August, from 10.00-12 noon at 36 West End Road.  As well as coffee, there’ll be cakes available and a raffle.  All welcome.

Shorter hours for Wednesday Welcome

Our Wednesday Welcome will be shortening its hours in July, August and September to 10am-12 midday.
You are still assured of a warm welcome though, plus at the moment a reasonably cool place to sit. Coffee, tea, decaf versions, and plenty of squash and water are available, with home made cakes.
Bring your work or your reading, play with the games/toys depending on your age and interest, or just sit and chat.

Festival Praise

Join us this Sunday at 10.30am for a special celebratory outdoor service for the music festival weekend. You’ll find us on the cricket field (bring a brolly just in case!).
