Next month the world will be gripped by football fever as the 21st World cup kick’s off in Russia. But this month it’s all about a wedding. All eyes will be fixed on Prince Harry and Meghan Markle as they marry on the 19th May at St. George’s Chapel, Windsor. Earlier this year, the prince’s […]
What’s in a name? EVERYTHING. It’s often the first thing you learn about someone. As you read through the Bible, you’ll discover God is referred to by a number of different names and each one tells you something important about his nature and who he wants to be in your life. Join us on Sunday’s […]
In February I took my wife away for a couple of nights in London. It’s become a bit of an annual tradition because there is so much to see or do (or in my case- eat!).

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.
