Work has started on the repair and restoration of the organ.  The organ dates from 1889 when it was rebuilt by Messrs Hele & Sons of Plymouth using parts from an earlier organ.  It was overhauled just after the end of the Second World War and again in 1979 but is now once again in need of some repair.  Thank you to all who have helped raise the funds to enable the repairs to be undertaken.

Blessed with fine weather, Easter this year saw the solemnity of Good Friday’s Walk of Witness in remembrance of Jesus’ crucifixion move to the joy of celebrating his resurrection on Easter Sunday.  A day that was made more special, as we also had a baptism.  Congratulations to Luke.  And in between there was the fun of our Eggstravaganza, including a grand Easter Egg hunt.  Our thanks to all who helped out over the weekend and also to those who decorated the church for Easter – it looked its very best.  Our thoughts and prayers, however, are also with all those caught up in the bomb attacks in Sri Lanka.

Come and join us on Easter Saturday from 2.00pm-4.00pm for an afternoon of crafts, games, history and refreshments, with a grand Easter Egg hunt at 3.00pm.

St Disen’s joined with other churches and cathedrals across the country on Thursday evening as the bells tolled for 7 minutes at 7.00pm as a mark of solidarity following the devastating fire at Notre Dame.
