Morning Prayer Friday, 16 April 2021

A Barbecue on the Beach Good morning, Cornerstone Friends, on this cold but promising Friday at the end of the week when we began slowly coming out of lockdown.

Evening Prayer Thursday, 15 April 2021

A reading of Psalm 4 1 Answer me when I call to you, my righteous God. Give me relief from my distress; have mercy on me and hear my prayer. 2 How long will you people turn my glory into shame? How long will you love delusions and seek false gods? 3 Know that the Lord has set apart...

Morning Prayer Thursday, 15 April 2021

Meeting the Risen Jesus Taking the bread, he blessed and broke and gave it to them. At that moment, open-eyed, wide-eyed, they recognised him; and then he disappeared – ‘Didn’t we feel on fire as he conversed with us on the road, as he opened up the Scriptures for us?’ Luke 24: 31–32 Message Study Bible...

Meditation for Sunday, 11 April 2021 Easter 2

By Revd George Mwaura Doubt if you will God whose light shines in the darkness, and who gave Thomas what he asked for, give us what we need-that we too may come to believe in the risen Christ.

Evening Prayer Wednesday, 31 March 2021

This is the point in Holy Week when the world turns for Jesus: halfway to Easter and there’s no turning back. Perhaps his Wednesday was as beautiful as ours has been – a day of warmth, a day of glorious sun, a day when you can almost see the trees awakening. Jesus was at the Synagogue...
