Good morning, Cornerstone friends, on this spring day of clouds and gentle breezes, birdsong and blossom. Canticle ‘Bless the Lord’ from The Song of Three 29–30 & 34–35 (Just four verses from a longer prayer, with a fifth added in the Common Worship prayer book to make it relevant to us Christians): Blessed are you, the...
Warm greetings, all. I have crafted this offering of music around the key of F (major and minor), which I hope will lend unity and integrity to the sequence as a whole. We begin with one of the beautiful chorale preludes from Bach’s Orgelbüchlein, written for the Church in Weimer around 1716. The chorale melody, gently elaborated,...

God who calls us on our journey, as we remember Jesus’ time in the wilderness,
help us to cast aside those things that get in the way of hearing your word.
Help us to seek you in the places of bounteous beauty and of barren bleakness.
Help us to seek you in the faces of friends and in the smiles of strangers.
Help our devotion to be made real in the actions of our lives.
When we have looked deep into our own hearts and struggled with who we are,
send angels to minister to us and draw us out from our own wilderness
to fulfil our calling to serve you.
In Christ’s name.
Amen
Good evening, everyone. Welcome to our Friday evening prayers. On Sunday we read the introduction to Psalm 107, and those of you involved in the Lent study groups will know that this was also referred to in this week’s study. These verses refer to God’s unchanging love and his grace in extending that to everyone, throughout...
Welcome and Good Morning to you all wherever or whenever in the world you may be. Just four more weeks to go in this phase of pandemic lockdown – just a few more sleeps until we can begin to emerge from behind the barricades. Some words for today from Psalm 18: I love you, Lord my...

Good morning, Living Stones! God is good? All the time.… What a joy to join you this morning for prayers as we start the day … A moment of silence as we gather our thoughts … Lord, speak to us in the quietness of our daily lives and assure us of your everlasting love, even in...
Good morning to you on this day of the patron saint of Ireland, St Patrick. We are now in the second half of Lent; Easter is getting closer. From today, each day is going to be longer than the night before it until nearly the end of September. Whoever dwells in the shelter of the Most High...
Greetings, all. On Mothering Sunday our thoughts turn to Mary, Mother of Jesus. The first item in our sequence of music for this day is Healey Willan’s Chorale Prelude based on the fourteenth-century German tune ‘Quem Pastores’. Many of us will associate the tune with Percy Dearmer’s beautiful text Jesus, good above all other gentle Child...

Thank you, God, for the wonder of your creation; for taking such care of us. Help us to remember: each of us matters to you; you hurt when we hurt; you rejoice when we feel happy and fulfilled; you are saddened when we neglect you and neglect others. As we approach Mothering Sunday this weekend, we...
