My daughter has been to see the new Disney Film, ‘Beauty and the Beast’ twice so far. She loves it. It’s a great story with a great moral. GK Chesterton put it like this: “There is the great lesson of ‘Beauty and the Beast.’ That a thing must be loved before it is lovable.” The news over the last month or so seems to have exposed the more beast-like aspects of the human condition and a loss of faith in the power of love.
This year Godstone Baptist Church is using cinema, art and services to help you celebrate three days that changed the world.

2017 began in a very strange way. We began the year with a church-social with a couple of professional ballroom dancers teaching us a few ‘moves’. If you’ve ever seen me dance, you’ll know that the term ‘move’ is a little optimistic. ‘Dad-Dancing’ doesn’t do it justice.

If you’re a bit of a […]
By the time you read this the new £5 note will have found it’s way into your wallet or purse. It’s the first polymer (plastic) currency ever issued by the bank of England. You can even dunk it in your tea (if you feel the need to!?) It’s impossible to turn on the news without […]
Summer is one of my favourite times of the year. Long evenings. Barbeques. Holidays and a good book. It’s a time to be with people without a meeting agenda getting in the way. I also love the summer because I’m a bit of a film-buff and summer is the time for the summer blockbuster! This […]
I can’t help feeling a sense of deep bereavement about the decision on Thursday to distance ourselves from Europe. Mine is a personal sense of sadness shared by some, but I appreciate not by all. I’ve found comfort in – and a reminder that God is our fortress and our security lies in him. Read […]
There’s something very British about egg mayonnaise sandwiches, Jaffa cakes and Ribena, and all three were on offer at the street party on the green hosted By Godstone Baptist Church on the village green last Friday. Two hours before, we had already hosted a special lunch club in the Baptist Church hall for seniors. A […]
In the run-up towards Easter, our church made the courageous decision to make the 40 days of Lent about others and not about ourselves.
