This weekend, 6th-8th June, is the Bradninch Music Festival. There will be a wide variety of music on offer from disco to jazz to classical and more. St Disen’s will be playing its part too. There are two concerts in the church on Saturday: a classical concert featuring local musicians at 12.30pm and a solo piano recital by Alex Wilson of The Planets at 6.00pm. Then at 7.45pm it’s time for Beer and Hymns in The Castle. On Sunday morning we’ll be up at the cricket pitch for Festival Praise at 10.30am, followed by refreshments at the ‘Tea of Galilee’. The church will be open on Sunday too as a quiet space for prayer and reflection.

What’s life really all about? What actually is most important and precious? If you’re asking questions then why not try Alpha?

Alpha is a great introduction to the Christian faith and an opportunity through eleven weekly sessions to explore what life is all about. Each session includes a short film and time for discussion. You can come with any questions or none. You can come to any or all sessions, there’s no pressure to stay. It’s for anybody—non-believing, new to faith, or wanting a refresher.

We’re starting an Alpha course on Thursday 8th May. If you’d like to join us please contact Revd Olly.

An evening of musical exploration with members of the Bournemouth Symphony Orchestra on Friday 2nd May at 6.30pm.
