DISS URC – A Community Space For All

Diss’ United Reformed Church is located on Mere Street (opposite Aldi) and serves the local community with a broad range of activities ranging from church services to fitness classes. Here is a taster of just a few of the things going on:

On 22nd January our first Taize service was held – a quiet contemplative service which was much appreciated. As a result, another

10am-1pm. It is a time for fun, friendship, support and a light lunch for people with a dementia diagnosis and their carers. Each café session has a theme and we recently had much fun with sports day based activities; we played armchair bowls, the bean bag toss, balloon tennis and putting. Our May session will have the theme of King Charles’ Coronation, so if you or someone you know has dementia and would like to attend, please join us on Wednesday 3rd May at 10am. We would love to see you.

We also hold Dove Song on the third Monday of each month at 1.30pm for people with either Dementia or Parkinson’s Disease and Dove Song Plus on the third Wednesday at 2.30pm for people with complex needs. These sessions are all led by a music therapist and involve much fun singing well known songs and accompanying these with percussion instruments. Again, we are always happy for new members to join these groups. Please look at our website www.dissurc.org.uk/ to
