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.

Congratulations to Claudia and Mike whose beautiful candlelit wedding took place in St Disen’s Church on 12th November.
Advent, the season of the church’s year when we prepare to celebrate the birth of Christ, begins with the lighting of the first candle on the Advent Wreath.
Our lay-led service took as its theme the need for everyone to ‘stay awake’ and be ready to welcome Christ when he comes.
Following the service, almost fifty people enjoyed a fabulous three-course meal in St Disen’s Hall.

Following the Act of Remembrance at the Guildhall, we welcomed almost 200 people, including the Mayor and members of the Town Council, to our Remembrance Service. The service was conducted by Revd. Keith Gale, who took as his text ‘Blessed are the Peacemakers’.
Standards were presented by Scouts, Cubs and Beavers.
On Sunday, 6th November, we were delighted to welcome Henry and his family and friends to St Disen’s, where he was baptised by Revd Jane Taylor.
St Disen’s church is (finally) putting together a website. Let’s hope it will be a great resource.
