God of all nations, on this day of Pentecost we praise you for the power of your Holy Spirit,
equipping each of us for our life’s work.
We celebrate especially the wonderful work of our Queen,
who has put loyalty before her royalty through all the ages of her reign.
And who, day by day, has served you her God and Christ her King with humility, resilience and grace.
Thank you for all she is and all she has done to your glory.
Amen
Let us come and worship the Lord Most High,
who guards the lives of his faithful ones.
Let us rejoice in the Lord and praise his holy name.
Amen

By Andrew and Jane Betts from Advantage Africa Talk By Andrew Betts It’s good be back at Cornerstone this morning, thanks so much for inviting us. A lot has happened since I last spoke here. Last time it was on Zoom. This time we are mostly face to face with some on live stream. Last time...
God our redeemer, you have delivered us from the power of darkness
and brought us into the kingdom of your Son.
Grant that as by his death he has recalled us to life,
so by his continual presence with us he may raise us to eternal joy
and empower us to continue his healing work through our actions in this world.
Amen

God of our past, present and future,
help us to see you at work in your creation –
as flowers lift their heads to the sun, or trees shake their leaves.
Help us to see you at work in our daily lives, in our routines and choices,
in our growing and our changing.
Help us to see you at work in all things.
In Jesus’ name.
Amen
Prayers for the day.

Living God, we thank you for seeking us out – as a shepherd seeks his sheep.
We thank you for keeping us safe – for standing with us in adversity and for blessing us with all that we have.
Help us to listen more to you than we do right now and give us the faith to follow you more perfectly,
in the name of the one who rose from the grave by your power.
Amen
Prayers for the day.

Risen Christ, when darkness overwhelms us, may your dawn beckon.
When fear paralyses us, may your touch release us.
When grief torments us, may your peace enfold us.
When memories haunt us, may your presence heal us.
When justice fails us, may your anger ignite us.
When apathy stagnates us, may your challenge renew us.
When courage leaves us, may your spirit inspire us.
When despair grips us, may your hope restore us.
And when death threatens us, may your resurrection light lead us.
Amen
