Coffee Morning Thanks

A big thank you to all who supported and helped in any way at our coffee morning at the Guildhall on Saturday.  We raised an amazing £257.00.  Thank You.

Alpha begins

Alpha got off to a great start last Wednesday with plenty of laughter, chat and puddings.

Missed it?  Don’t worry if you were unable to join us for the first session, you are more than welcome to come as and when you can.  No pressure, no charge, no follow up, just a warm welcome to come and explore the Christian faith.

Alpha

A reminder that Alpha will be starting in Bradninch on Wednesday evening, 30th January at 7.30pm in St Disen’s Hall.

Whether you are a believer or not, new to the Christian faith or want a refresher we invite you to join us on an exploration of faith.  Each session starts with pudding, then a short film followed by time for discussion and questions.  There’s no pressure.  No follow up.  No charge.

For more information please contact Olly on 01392 881733 or revollymears@gmail.com

New Service Times

As from February 2019 all our main Sunday morning services will be at 10.30am.  Our 8.00am Sunday and 10.00 Wednesday communion services remain unchanged.

And on Saturday, 22nd December we have Carols by Candlelight which promises to be a particularly Christmassy event, followed by refreshments.

For all of our forthcoming events and services please see our What’s On’ calendar.  Everyone welcome.

Advent

Last Sunday, 2nd December, marked the first Sunday of Advent, the beginning of the church’s year and a time to start looking forward to the birth of Christ.  Following our Advent Service at which the first candle in our Advent wreath was lit and singing such wonderful Advent hymns as ‘Lo! he comes with clouds descending’ and ‘O come, O come, Emmanuel!’ we sat down to share a lovely lunch in a most festive setting.  Thank you to all who helped prepare and serve the meal and cleared away afterwards.
