A most successful coffee morning was held on 2nd August to coincide with the annual opening of the collection boxes. A grand total of £911.50 has been raised this year. A big thank you to everyone – all that loose change adds up!
Thank you to all who supported our recent coffee mornings in aid of our organ fund and the Childrens Society which between them raised some £400. But coffee mornings aren’t all about making money. They’re about meeting and making friends over a cup of coffee (or tea). So why not come and join us at our next Coffee Morning on Wednesday 22nd August at 10.00am in the Church Hall.
Progress is being made towards the installation of a mobile phone mast in the tower.
Another beautiful wedding on another beautiful day!
Congratulations to Daisy and Tom, married at St Disen’s on July 21st.
Congratulations to Ruth and David who were married in St Disen’s Church on 7th July. A lovely occasion on a beautiful day.
Many thanks to all who donated to our collection during Christian Aid Week and especial thanks to those who collected ‘door to door’.
As a result, we have been able to contribute £1,035 to help some of the poorest people in the world.
Revd. Olly Mears’ name has been added to the generations-long list of incumbents at St. Disens.

Come and join with the Gospel Hall, Baptist Church and St Disen’s Church as they get together for a joyful session of hymn singing outside the Guildhall on Sunday 10th June at 10.30am.
The Commonwealth War Graves Commission has put up a sign at the entrance to St Disen’s Churchyard as part of its First World War centenary project to increase awareness of war graves throughout the United Kingdom. There are 8 war graves in St Disen’s Churchyard and another at the Baptist Church.
Although there are 8 war graves in the churchyard, there are only 7 grave sites as brothers, Private S. Elliot and Sapper V. Elliot are commemorated together.
Family and friends came together on a beautiful May Bank Holiday Sunday to celebrate the baptisms of Millie and her baby sister Meadow. The service included ‘Morning has Broken’ especially chosen by Millie and Meadow’s parents and a song, with plenty of actions, about how wide, high and deep God’s love is for us.

St Disen’s Church looked its best for the day too, set against a brilliant blue sky and blossom on the trees.
A lovely church on a lovely day
