Cornerstone

Cornerstones was full on Tuesday evening as over 40 people turned up to the Annual General Meeting.

Our quiz night in aid of Helen & Douglas House (previously planned for Saturday 17th July) has been postponed, but we look forward to hosting it in the Autumn. More details soon.

Wantage Civic Hall was packed on Tuesday for the Acoustic Gospel concert by the legendary Christian singer/songwriter Graham Kendrick.

Three hundred people from as far afield as Swindon, Oxford and Reading flocked to the Civic Hall to enjoy over two hours of songs performed by Graham on acoustic guitar accompanied on bass by Simon Dennis on and on percussion by founder of Psalm Drummers - the fantastic Terl Bryant.

It wasn't just Christians having a good time either. One of our guests said afterwards: “I was looking for entertainment rather than spiritual content - Graham Kendrick is s first-class entertainer – one of the best.”

Graham Kendrick is on a nationwide tour in May and we are delighted that this includes a concert at Wantage Civic Hall on Tuesday 18 May. This is a rare opportunity to spend an evening with the singer/songwriter who has written so many worship songs in recent years that are both popular and meaningful. But this is not a worship event. It is a concert of Graham’s songs that tell gospel stories and bring to life the characters and dramas; played in an acoustic style so they can be enjoyed by Christians and non-Christians alike.

Proceeeds from the evening will be split between Cornerstone’s local ministry in Grove and Compassion, a national charity chosen by Graham that sponsors children overseas - Releasing children from poverty in Jesus’ name.
