To meet you in prayer and praise and to learn and grow as your faithful disciples in Jesus name.
Amen
I imagine that any of you who have visited Iona will recognise the picture above. It is many years since we went there, but the atmosphere of the island made a real impression on me. I think of it still each time we have a prayer from the Iona community or use hymns written by John...
Morning Prayer in the Celtic Tradition Good morning on this last day of April – a very changeable month of cold and drought and finally refreshing rain. Today we pray in the Celtic tradition drawing on prayers from David Adam. This new day you give me from your great eternity. This new day now enfold me...
A reading from Psalm 22 25 From you comes the theme of my praise in the great assembly; before those who fear you I will fulfil my vows. 26 The poor will eat and be satisfied; those who seek the Lord will praise him – may your hearts live for ever! 27 All the ends of the earth will...
You Are Important to God You discern my going out and my lying down; you are familiar with all my ways. Before a word is on my tongue you, Lord, know it completely. Psalm 139: 3-4 LSAB Sometimes we don’t let people get to know us completely because we are afraid they will discover something about...

Good evening everyone. Welcome to Friday evening’s prayers. It’s over a year now since I’ve been writing prayers for this forum and I’ve really appreciated the discipline of giving some serious thought each week as to what I would like to share with you. I know that not all members of our Cornerstone community are able...
Hello to everyone coming to pray or praise or liven up this day. God of promise who never fails us in need, receive our thanks for a peaceful night and this wonderful new morning. Give us grace to discover you in everyone we meet and everything we do until we come to rest again tonight. Amen...
A reading from John’s First Letter 16 This is how we know what love is: Jesus Christ laid down his life for us. And we ought to lay down our lives for our brothers and sisters. 17 If anyone has material possessions and sees a brother or sister in need but has no pity on them, how can...
