A reading from Psalm 127 1 Unless the Lord builds the house, the builders labour in vain. Unless the Lord watches over the city, the guards stand watch in vain. 2In vain you rise early and stay up late, toiling for food to eat – for he grants sleep to those he loves. 3 Children are a heritage...
God of love, you are so much more than anything we could ever imagine.
Abundant love flows from your very being.
We know your love is the greatest of all.
We bask now in that love, making our small offering in return.
We love you with all our heart, all our understanding, and all our strength – and always will.
Amen
We begin our prayers today with a reading from St Paul’s letter to the Christians in Thessalonica. Thanksgiving and Prayer 3 We ought always to thank God for you, brothers and sisters, and rightly so, because your faith is growing more and more, and the love all of you have for one another is increasing. 4 Therefore, among God’s...
A reading from the Book of Ruth 16 … Ruth replied, ‘Don’t urge me to leave you or to turn back from you. Where you go I will go, and where you stay I will stay. Your people will be my people and your God my God. 17 Where you die I will die, and there I will...
Good morning good friends, we have the gift of another day, our last Wednesday in British Summer Time. Let us spend some time of quiet and reflection together. How long will you forget me, O Lord; for ever? How long will you hide your face from me? How long shall I have anguish in my soul...
Mark 10: 35–45 By Revd Paul Le Sueur I invite you to think back on your life to recall if there has ever been a time when you have really struggled to master something. For some people, learning to swim or to cycle or to dance comes really easily, but for others, no matter how patient the instructor...

All seeing God, you are so far beyond our understanding, yet you want to meet with us.
You call us into your presence, as the crowd called the blind man to come to Jesus.
We come to you now, mighty Lord, gathered expectantly, ready to worship and learn from you.
May we have eyes open to see you and hearts willing to be seen by you.
Amen
Good morning Living Stones family. This is Day the Lord as made, let us all be glad and rejoice in it. Having gone through the effects of the deadly Covid-19, one thing that it taught me was the importance of self-care. I embarked on walking and running and that has now become part of my life....
God our creator, we are made in your image, create and reshape us anew for your purposes.
God our sustainer, who sent your Son Jesus to be our servant,
by your grace, forgive us where we have hurt your world.
God our guide and inspiration, open our hearts to receive your wisdom,
inspire and direct us – in Jesus’ name.
Amen
By Revd Hannah Akibo-Betts Good morning to us here and those watching on line. As Christ the Cornerstone gathers today to celebrate Black History Month, I thank Ernesto and Glynne for inviting me to be your guest speaker. It is a daunting and unenviable task, but a welcomed privilege. Unenviable and daunting because our contemporary history...
Prayers for Central Milton Keynes Good morning!

Let’s begin...

Hello everyone. Welcome to our Friday prayers. Today, I am going to begin our prayer time together with a reading from The Psalms – Psalm 8. This Psalm seems particularly appropriate to read at this time of year, though, of course, we can be aware of God’s majesty and grandeur at any time. 1 Lord, our Lord,...
