    Summer Festival

    A Summer Festival based at St Anne’s Church will take place between 14 and 29 June.

    This event is open to all village residents and their guests.

    The Festival will be of special interest to those who enjoy music but there will also be an opportunity to participate in a music workshop, led by international soloist Debbie Norman. 

    The programme for this Come & Sing Workshop will be One Day More from Les Miserables. No previous singing experience is required.

    It will be a lot of fun and will help you develop vocal technique and confidence as well as learning to sing a chorus from this popular West End show by the end of the afternoon.

    There will also be contributions from local artists and floral arrangements on display in church.

    Should any other village contributors wish to participate, please feel free to enquire.

  • Dear Friends

    Have you ever hidden something and hoped it would go away? You might have done it unintentionally, telling yourself that you were simply filing it so that you could deal with it later. We do it with inconvenient truth as well. We know what is true but to face up to the truth would make life difficult so it is conveniently filed to be acted on at a later date.

    The religious authorities in first century Palestine thought that they had done that with the inconvenience of the preacher from Galilee. The civil authorities were confident in their own worldview to quickly dispatch the rabble-rouser who talked about a kingdom of love where he was King. You see execution is often used when you want to suppress the truth. If you stamp on it hard enough, if you shout loud enough then you can silence it.

    The trouble is that the truth often comes back to haunt us. It certainly did for those who crucified the one who called himself the truth. Three days later, bearing the scars of love and whispering words of truth, he was back. The murmur of truth exploded into the bold proclamation that He was Alive.

    I wonder if this Easter, rather than filing it in the back of your mind to think about when you have time, you will look seriously at the Christian claim that God became human, loved us so much that he died for us and then rose again to give us eternal life.

    God bless

    Mike Gilbert, Rector of Baslow
