Bruce Cockburn’s 1987 song ‘Waiting for a Miracle’ might be relevant for some of you as you anticipate another Christmas and New Year:
“Somewhere out there is a place that’s cool
Where peace and balance are the rule
Working toward a future like some kind of mystic jewel
And waiting for a, and waiting for a, and waiting for a miracle.”

I don’t know if you’ve noticed but there’s a feeling of popular protest in the air. The anger over Grenfell Tower, a growing mistrust of big business and the referendums and elections that have floored the posters.

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.
Why not join us this Easter?
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.
