‘Return to me with all your heart, with fasting and weeping and mourning’ (Joel 2.12)

The forty days of Lent provide us with an opportunity for reflection, for taking stock, of re-committing ourselves to God. We, therefore, invite you to join with us in praying the Lord’s Prayer at noon each day of this season, wherever you might be, using that daily rhythm as a means of reconnecting afresh with God.

Our Warm Welcome, as featured in the Bishop of Exeter’s Christmas message, continues every Wednesday, from 9.00am until 3.00pm in the Church Hall.  You’ll find a warm, free, safe community space, with hot drinks, home baking and homemade soup, all free to all.  Just pop in or stay all day.

There’s lots coming up this week with something we hope for everyone.  Monday evening, 8.00pm sees us at The Castle for Beer & Carols.  Wednesday is the day for the Messy Church Christmas Party.  It’s at the Baptist Church starting at 3.30pm.  On Friday at 7.30pm we have our lovely Carols by Candlelight with organist Alex West and the Christmas Choir.  Then on Christmas Eve we have a donkey service at 6.00pm.  Come early and meet Issachar!  Midnight Communion is at 11.30pm.  And on Christmas morning, there will be a service of Holy Communion at 9.00am.

Exeter based pianist, Alex Wilson will be hosting a Christmas musical journey across Europe this coming Saturday, 10thDecember from 5.00pm.  Tickets are £8.00 (suggested price) and are available in advance via Alex’s website, or on the door.

All are welcome to a quiet, reflective service to remember loved ones in St Disen’s Church on Sunday 27th November at 4.00pm. If you would like the name of a loved one read during the service please contact Revd Olly.

Each Wednesday through the autumn and winter, we will be offering a Warm Welcome in St Disen’s Hall from 9am till 3pm.  You’ll find a warm, free, safe community space, with hot drinks, home baking, homemade soup, all free to all.  You are welcome to just pop in or stay all day.

We’re part of the national Warm Welcome project and supported by Bradninch Town Council as part of their Winter Project.

The third Tuesday of the month, 2.00pm, is knit and natter time in St Disen’s Hall.

Can’t knit? That doesn’t matter. Bring another craft or just come and natter (and enjoy a cuppa as well).
