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)

The report ‘Talking Jesus’ commissioned by various Christian organisations is not good read for all those engage in traditional evangelism [mission]. Yes, we need to be aware that surveys of this kind have so many variants and can be read and interpreted in many different ways. However to read that 40% of the people that took part in this survey think that Jesus is not an historical figure and 30% are put off when people talk to them about Jesus is concerning. It raises all kind of questions to our missional work. (to read more click on title)

Small groups will be meeting at the church for three weeks starting on 30 November. They will meet at Monday lunch time at 1.00 pm, on Wednesday evening at 7.30 pm and there will also be an early evening group beginning at 5.30 pm if there is demand for this.

The topic for the discussions will be ‘Light in dark times’ and each session will include Bible study, reflection, discussion and prayer.

If you are interested in joining a group please contact Rosemary Goldie or sign up on the sheet in Reception.

Cornerstone’s Vision and Mission: Leading Prayer

What does prayer mean to you? What is the difference to private prayer and public prayer? What does prayer mean in the context of Christ the Cornerstone? These were some of the questions discussed during a workshop at the Church on Saturday 22nd August.

The workshop was open to anyone in Church who is interested in leading prayer in worship. It began with a discussion about the use of music and images in prayer and how they can be used to stir the imagination and awaken the senses.

This week is Christian Aid week.  It’s a week that makes a huge difference for the work that they can do, both with the emergency work, like responding to the earthquakes in Nepal, and the ongoing projects such as the work in Ethiopia that is highlighted in this Christian Aid week.  Check out our facebook page for...
