Bonhoeffer Anniversary
Today (Thursday, 9 April 2020) we mark the anniversary of the execution of Dietrich Bonhoeffer. I first heard of him in 1962…. His writings took me on journeys that I would not have dreamed about.

GOLD Bible Study Course: ‘The Gospel of Luke and the Acts of the Apostles’
Trinity College Bristol have re-branded their Open Learning bible study programme as Group-based Open Learning Discipleship project (GOLD project).
Our small, sociable group at Cornerstone has just completed a study of the Gospels of Matthew and Mark, and in March we shall begin a new study: ‘The Gospel of Luke and the Acts of the Apostles’. We meet in the Café at Cornerstone 6.00–8.00 pm on Thursday evenings: 3, 17 & 31 March, 14 & 28 April, 12 May and 9 & 23 June 2016.
If you are interested, contact Glynne Gordon-Carter or Pat Kyd (whose contact details are available to church members on the This and That website), or contact the Cornerstone Office.
Lent Study: ‘The Mystery of Everything’
‘The Mystery of Everything’ is a new and original Lent course by Hilary Brand, which takes the multi-award winning film about Stephen Hawking, ‘The Theory of Everything’, as its starting point. The course explores ways in which the mysteries of the universe and of everyday life – and the acceptance that we have more questions than answers – can reinvigorate our faith and spiritual journey. The course is based around five weekly group sessions entitled: ‘The experience of wonder’, ‘The enigma of weakness’, ‘The complexity of relationships’, ‘The encounter with frailty’ and ‘The hope beyond brokenness’.
We shall run two sessions:
Tuesdays, 7.30–9.00 pm, starting on Tuesday, 16 February 2016
Wednesdays, 1.00–2.30 pm, starting on Wednesday, 24 February 2016
Everybody welcome

Cornerstone: a Church that lives the Gospel. What does that mean for our worship?
Conversation about Music. – The Question
Cornerstone is a church in Central Milton Keynes with a vision to live the Gospel; to be a place and a people where God’s love and justice is known and made known.
We come from many cultures; many church traditions and none. We span different ages and lifestyles.
Our mission is to recognise and release the God given potential in individuals and communities.
In all our conversations about our mission, worship has been seen as a priority.
So the question is:
Bearing in mind all that we know about the development of music in worship though the Bible and the history of the church:
How does our use of music, of all kinds, in worship, reflect and support our mission?
Can we imagine ways in which we could develop this further? ( to see more click on the title)
